The key to develop any stroke in tennis is proper amount of repetitions. That is why players have to make a lot of drills based on control and consistency to become confident with this shot when the pressure is on. Being able to place the ball in the same place from different positions will increase player's confidence so he won't hesitate to come to the next during the tournament.
In this drill, the player works on control and consistency. Rallying with the coach puts player into the tremendous learning environment because all the balls are different. The player has to adapt and still maintain the high rate of effective volleys so instead of improving only technical skills, the player gets stronger also in physical and mental skills. The coach can make this exercise restricted by time or by proper amount of balls hit into the zone.
