DESCRIPTION

Player serves to the T from ad side. Coach hits easier return to the backhand side. Player moves inside the baseline and around the backhand to hit an offensive forehand inside in.

So knowing that, Player can prepare for the next shot to put a lot of pressure on the opponent. A weaker return should always be punished, therefore Player's mental approach should be to dominate from the first ball of the rally. Coach should encourage Player to move inside the court on every short ball to use an offensive forehand. Inside in direction is a good choice especially when it is followed by movement to the net.
