Backhand Down the Line Targets

Key Points

• Preparation and Stance: Show your back to the coach or look over your shoulder to ensure proper racket preparation. Use a stepping stance for closer balls or an open stance for wide balls.
• Footwork and Recovery: Move out wide with balance, cross over as your first recovery step, shuffle lightly around the cone, and stay light on your toes.
• Consistency and Balance: Focus on staying low, keeping your balance, and hitting 10 balls in a row into the target area with clean, precise strokes.
• Match-Like Training: Maintain proper movement and recovery mechanics, mimicking real-match scenarios to develop habits for high-level play.
• Drill Focus: Practice with discipline to ensure strong preparation, balanced shots, and smooth recovery for effective backhand down-the-line execution.
