DRILL # 3
Short balls



Short balls are a gift. If you are in a good position to hit a short ball, try and finish the point right then
  • This drill is to help players hit winners off of their opponent's  short balls.

  • The player is positioned at the baseline and is fed a ball to hit a normal ground stroke

  • The next ball is fed short.

  • The player should step in and hit a hard sharp cross court winner and then follow the shot to net.

  • The best shots are not always the hardest hit. Make sure you  hit the ball into the corners consistently

  • You can easily hit a winner from this position by hitting the ball at 75% of max pace
