Forehand Down the Line Targets

Key Points

• Drill Objective: Hit the ball between the cones and the single sideline 10 times in a row to develop consistency and precision.
• Key Elements: Focus on movement, balance, preparation, and striking ability to build a strong forehand foundation.
• Proper Recovery: Cross over after hitting, shuffle around the cone, and always face the coach across the net to simulate match-like movement.
• Wide Ball Adjustments: Step into the ball if not pulled wide; use an open stance forehand when hitting wide balls.
• Daily Practice: Work on this drill every day to ensure consistency before progressing to live ball or match-play situations.
• Train Like a Match: Avoid jogging or turning shoulders during recovery; move exactly as you would in a match for effective training.
