When to move up in drills
Training
Mark Jung Asked 10 years ago
Been just starting to do some dedicated drilling sessions with a practice partner, but we're still at the point where our placement is a bit sloppy and the ball falls out of play fairly often. Would it be worthwhile to add in some mixed drills (e.g. like the X drill where one player hits down the line and the other hits diagonally), or should we focus on the basics until we're both fairly accurate?

Hi Mark,
I would stay with the set drills for a little while till you get more comfortable placing the ball accurately. Then you an move on to the Xs and Hs drill or more random drills.

#32 - Effective Returns
In this training plan we put together all of the different returns we've learnt and focus on producing an effective return. You should be aiming to topspin all long serves and then weighing up your options on the short serve. A good short push is a great option but you also need some variation with either a flick or a long fast push. Go out and put this training plan into action and work on improving your return.
