Match Drills

How long of doing repetition drills for strokes will the results start to seep into a game? I find that my form is ok during a drill, but collapses during a game.

Hi Myrna,
It can take a while. It is really important to have that basic grounding though otherwise it is difficult to develop further.
When you have your good basic movements then you will find it easier in matches to be able to get to balls and move more naturally.
For more game play you can implement more match drills.
Take a look through our Match Routine Drills lesson which will give you some good ideas to improve this area of your game.

Speed Against Defenders
To win against defenders you need to think about your tactics. Simply hitting every ball hard makes it easy for the chopper to get into a nice rhythm. You are much better off varying the speed of your attacks and drawing your opponent in and out.

I feel as if I'm ready for the olympics when playing against the robot and go into matches with loads of confidence. Then I get clobbered game after game vs human and its back to the drawing board. This cycle repeats itself, but WE ARE getting better every day!
