Approach Shots Drill #1 – Hand Feed

The key is to feel like you are hitting the same ball over and over. A few things to keep in mind when doing this drill: 1 – Make sure you turn your body early and move laterally to the ball. Don’t sprint straight to it; 2 – Don’t jump when you hit the ball; 3 – Your body should move towards the target. Hit the shot and pretend you are actually moving to the net for a couple steps; 4 – Focus on the depth of the shot, DON’T focus on power; 5 – Increased racket head speed. You need get the ball over the net but it needs extra topspin in order to drop before the baseline;
