Hi,
When looking to develop the on drive, it`s important you work from your feet up, making sure you`re getting into a good, set position to play the shot from.
This On Drive from Set Position drill is perfect for developing balance and transfer of weight to play the on drive.
Try not to over hit the ball and look to improve timing in a balanced manner rather than looking purely for power.
I hope this helps!
