Pro Tips
Check back often for more Pro Tips! Do you find it hard to be consistent on your groundstrokes because one flank lets you down more than the other? When you get your backhand going does your forehand break down more? You may need to practice them in a more balanced manner to keep your timing and consistency on both. A balanced practice would help you keep both sides flowing. A great practice regimen would involve hitting forehands and backhands equally using the full court. Start by hitting crosscourt forehand by each player slightly shading to the deuce court and try hitting deep to your opponents corner. Try 25 - 30 balls in this configuration. Then switch to the backhand side (again slightly edging to the ad court) and try to hit 25 - 30 balls in this layout. Then move one player slightly to the deuce court and the other slightly to their ad court and try to rally down the line 25 - 30 balls. Reverse then to your backhand in your ad court and your partner's forehand in their deuce court and the same number of balls in this fashion. Use this drill to keep your groundies balanced and you will see improvement in control and consistency when you play |
