Tennis: Watch the ball

Thanks for everything! Sportplan has helped me to improve my tennis...
Andrea, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

The player stands at the net, and the coach feeds balls to the forehand side. The player hits forehand volley with goal to fix the eyes on the point of contact.

COACHING POINTS

Looking at the ball right before the racquet's contact is an ability that many pros use to improve control over the ball. Roger Federer is the best example who shows that shortly after the shot he is still focused at the point of contact.

In this drill, the player works on technical aspect (point of contact). Watching the ball while hitting it will improve positioning to the ball and it will have positive effect on consistency and placement.
