Hi, coach!

What do you think about the following robot:

Will it help to improve technique of strokes? I remember that you said stationary ball doesn't help. Will training with such machine damage technique?

Hi ardak,

I think these are good to start with for a few minutes but the real skill is to hit a moving ball that is coming towards you and still get that contact.

#15 - Using Depth

In this session we talk about the length of your placement. Often we think that we need to always hit the ball deeper and faster however sometimes playing a shorter ball during a rally can catch your opponent off guard. If this happens to you, you need to ensure you are able to move forward and deal with the shorter ball.
