Inside in Forehand Targets

Key Points

• Purpose of the Inside-In: The inside-in forehand is often the final shot to finish a point after opening the court with an inside-out forehand or a backhand crosscourt.
• Strategic Timing: Only go inside-in when your opponent is pushed off the court; otherwise, they may counter with a strong crosscourt return.
• Technical Execution: Move quickly around the backhand side, stay light on your feet, keep the racket in a ready position, and step forward into the ball.
• Aggressive Play: Take the ball early to punish the opponent, take time away, and maintain control of the rally.
• Drill Focus: Players must hit 10 balls in a row into the target area before progressing to the next drill.
