DESCRIPTION

  • Player serves wide from the ad side.
  • Coach returns with backhand cross-court.
  • Player responds with finishing backhand down the line.


COACHING POINTS

  • In this drill, player works on really typical pattern from the ad side. This pattern uses the wide serve to create the space as also makes it really predictable to read the opponent's intention because it is hard to control good down the line shot with backhand from behind the sidelines.
  • Player should be prepared to hit the ball down the line and make opponent risk more with the next returning attempt.
  • Coach can make this drill more competitive by adding zones for the serve, return and down the line shot or by allowing players to compete after executing the pattern without the mistake.
