Dictating play:Forehands from the Backhand Corner

This week's session, uses progressive drills and videos to help you get your players striking powerful inside-out forehand strokes, Nadal style!

Rafael Nadal is one of the best known players to regularly use their forehand on his wrong side. Many players who favour their forehand to their backhand regularly use this stroke to ensure they hit the ball back with as much venom as possible.

To get all your players striking a biting forehand from their backhand side this session sees your players working in groups of three - playing co-operative rallies to improve their stroke play, movement and consistency. As one player works on their forehand from the backhand corner your other players will have to keep the ball alive, using down the line ball and cross-court shots.

Everyone will have a chance to work in all the positions, as players rotate regularly to make sure they stay alert and continue to think carefully about the next shot they're going to play and how they intend to play it!
