Step-By-Step

Granted, this drill can feel a bit odd because you are hitting right at your opponent but don’t worry about winning or losing; worry about how effective your approach shots were during the game. Play to 10 and afterwards assess the following: 1 – Was I making too many mistakes of the approach shots or was I being consistent? 2 – Were my approach shots deep and difficult for my opponent? 3 – Was my opponent hitting more of his back foot (meaning your approach was deep and pushed him back) or his front foot (meaning your shots were short and he was able to be offensive)? After drills #1 and #2, the objective of drill #3 is for you to assess how effective your approach shots are in a point situation. In addition, you can gauge your level of comfort when moving in. Make sure you have fun with it.
