Hi Abdullah,

Speed and consistency comes once you have good technique and can do the stroke well at slow speed. If you can do this, then you will be able to speed the ball up and still remain consistent.

So start with the ball going slowly and then speed it up.  You may play 3 or 4 balls at a slower speed and then increase the speed in the rally each time.  You will find that you will increase your consistency because you are wanting to get to the faster balls.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
