This week we want your players to be comfortable with playing a slice shot and hitting balls with backspin.
To get comfortable with applying backspin to the shot from different locations on the court.
What's in the Session?
The session begins by breaking movements patterns down so that players feel comfortable controlling their upper and lower body weight.
