The two players starts by hitting â2 & 2â, meaning two to the forhand side and two to the backhand side. The player who is alone can hit to which ever side he/she wants to. No matter where the ball goes, the two players on the same side shoul pay attention and focus so that the player who is alone will get â2 & 2â. The coach times this and at one point gives the instructions to go â1 & 1â, meaning that the two players now must hit one shot to the forhand and one shot to the backhand. All three players should go through the drill as the one alone. variation with two players: make one of them hit â2 & 2â and the other should only hit to the center.
