Hi, coaches!
Is it useful to practice with constant ball? I have no partner to practice topspins. That's why I put a ball on a stick, then tried to practice brushing the ball and to focus on the contact moment. Then I felt that my brushing action improved on slow balls, but I got problems with fast balls. Should I continue practice topspins like that? Or is it harmful?
Hi Ardak,
I think hitting a ball from a stationary position has limited benefit. It is better than not doing anything.
It doesn't give you a realistic ball to work with.
The high toss serve is not being used by a lot of players and this can be your advantage. If you can learn this serve you will gain an advantage on your opponents who are not used to returning it. Watch this master class to learn how to do it and why it is so effective.

If you don't have a partner and can't afford a robot, maybe you could build yourself some kind of return board (look it up on Google). You wouldn't need to put rubber on it, just incline it so that it will block back your topspin ball.
