Coach stands on the player's side of the court and feeds the ball with the racquet off the ground. Player moves forward and hits an aggressive forehand.
Quick reaction and hitting in the high point of contact (shoulder level) are 2 priorities for any player who wants to be more offensive. Running fast gives us more time to prepare and less time for the opponent to react. Hitting around the shoulder level gives us higher margin of errors because we can hit flat and the ball will still go over the net.
