Tennis: Forehand angle inside out

Mix your player?s game up and work on their depth when hitting different shots - from the backhand volley to the inside-out forehand. Stun their opponents with variety!

Up to 4 players can be involved.

The aim is to encourage players to progressively attack on the move.

Coach feeds 3 balls to each player diagonally across the court. Feed 1 to the centre of the court, feed 2 slightly wider to the centre of the service box, and feed 3 wider towards the tramlines of the court.

Players should use good footwork to get feet in the correct position around the ball to hit an inside out forehand straight back down the court.

The drill should be continuous so as player A hits feed 2, player B is hitting feed 1.

Cones are set in the deuce deep area. The coach feeds balls to the forehand or backhand and the player hits the ball while avoiding the deep deuce corner.

The player stands at the net, and the coach feeds balls to the backhand's side. The player then hits 6 backhand volleys in cross court direction. First 2 balls are played deep; next 2 balls have medium depth; last 2 balls are hit short.

Player A stands in the ad corner, and player B tries to hit all balls to the ad corner. If the ball bounces in front of the cones, player A hits backhand down the line. If the ball bounces behind the cones, player A hits backhand cross court.
