2 or 3 players each side. Players start on baseline T. Player hits easy ball over serve line to opponent for 3 shot rally. After the 3rd shot is successful the point starts. 2 chances per point. If no 3 shot rally starts there are no points and the next pair start. Highest score wins.
Players should aim to hit solid less risky shots to start the rally. When the point starts the players should use their feet to rip any short balls flat down the line.
