Improve attacking skills by playing alone

Haris Ansari Asked 12 years ago

Hi coach !

A month ago, I started practise alone by some drills shown by your videos.They are great but there is much improvement in my defence but not in my attack. Then, how can I improve my attacking skills by playing alone ?

Hi Haris,

You can focus on this with some shadow swings of attacking topspins.  Swing the racket through and imagine yourself playing an attacking forehand against another player.  You can do this slowly at first and then speed it up.

Training by yourself has obvious limitations and eventually you will need to spend more time training with a partner.
