Backhand Crosscourt Targets

Move out wide with balance, use a crossover step as your first recovery move, then shuffle to get in front of and around the cone.

Key Points

  • Drill Objective: Develop a strong backhand crosscourt to push opponents off the court and create opportunities for down-the-line or inside-in forehands.
  • Proper Preparation: Prepare with your chin over your shoulder, keep the racket back, and strike the ball out in front, focusing on hitting the outside of the ball.
  • Footwork and Recovery: Move out wide with balance, use a crossover step as your first recovery move, then shuffle to get in front of and around the cone.
  • Match-Like Training: Practice as if in a match, staying light on your feet, maintaining smooth movement, and recovering efficiently.
  • Consistency: Aim to hit 10 balls in a row into the crosscourt target area, ensuring precision and clean execution.
