Live Ball Targets: Crosscourt Forehand

Focus on having no tension, feeling the ball on the strings, and adjusting to hit the target consistently.

Key Points

  • Progression Rule: For all these target drills, the player must hit 10 balls to the cones before progressing to the next drill.
  • Feel the Ball: Focus on having no tension, feeling the ball on the strings, and adjusting to hit the target consistently.
  • Feedback from Each Shot: Each ball gives feedback—whether it’s late, too low, or perfect—use this to make immediate adjustments.
  • Consistency is Key: Aim to hit the target repeatedly, refining your shot placement through mental and physical discipline.
  • Build the Foundation: Good training comes from consistently placing the ball in the target area while maintaining proper technique.
  • Continuous Improvement: Adjust height, timing, and positioning on each shot to achieve precision and maintain control over the rally.
  • Drill Focus: Hit crosscourt forehands into the target area consistently to develop accuracy and rhythm.
