Forehand Crosscourt Targets

Key Points

• Drill Objective: Develop solid forehand crosscourt fundamentals, focusing on movement, racket preparation, and accurate ball placement into the target area.
• Consistency: Aim to hit 10 balls in a row into the crosscourt target area to build precision and control.
• Proper Recovery: Use a crossover step to exit the corner, shuffle around the cone, and always face the coach, simulating match-like movement.
• Balance is Key: Maintain balance by getting behind the ball and setting up in an open, semi-open, or closed stance; avoid hitting off balance or at hip height.
• Footwork Fundamentals: Stay light on your feet, shuffle twice around the cone, and move with agility to ensure smooth transitions between shots.
• Match-Like Training: Mimic real-match scenarios by practicing with proper recovery and ready position, avoiding jogging or turning shoulders during the drill.
