The coach feeds the balls to the deuce side, whilst the player hits forehand cross court into a specific zone for doubles.
Cross court shot is different in doubles match in comparison to a single match. The court is wider as also there are 4 players on the court so using doubles alleys is a priority to keep the ball away from the rival at the net.
In this drill the player works on a specific forehand cross court. The player tries to locate the ball between the cones and the doubles sideline. This placement keeps the ball away from the rival at the net as also it opens up the court for our partner at the net. With more players coach can put one player at the net as a rival and let him try to get the opponent cross court shots.
