Developing Weapons and the 80/20 Rule

Key Points

• You can’t develop weapons when you are afraid to miss
• Increasing pace and power on your shots can cause you to over hit while you learn to control the ball and “find your limits”
• Practice hitting the ball hard regularly
• Rotational power will help you generate more pace and can be worked on by throwing med balls
• Throwing a lot from a young age can help you develop a very good service motion
• If you notice a player has the potential of developing a weapon on a certain shot, use the 80/20 rule where you spend 80% of the time developing that strength
