Hi Simon,
This is definitely a good skill to work on.
I often have 3 in my hand as well. What sort of container do you have the balls. Try to have them in an open container that is easily accessible. Feed the ball out at a pace that you are comfortable with to start with. The most important thing is rhythm rather than pace. So slow it down to the speed that you can pick the next bunch of balls up. As you get more comfortable you will start to be cleaner with picking up the next bunch of balls.
If you are finding 3 balls difficult to pick up then go back to two or even one at a time so you are getting better rhythm.
Playing the third ball is not the same as playing against a push later in the rally. This is because your serve will affect the way the ball is returned to you. Watch this master class to learn the best way to practice your third ball.

Hi pingskill,
I'm Chairiel
May i ask you, how to counter smash ( TOPSPIN) It is rather difficult block when with someone which good in attack, thank you
Hi Chairiel,
The first thing you should focus on is to stop your opponent from attacking. Take a look at this lesson on I Can't Return That Smash!.
Then also look at the lessons on the Backhand Block as the option to be able to return a fast topspin.
