Nick Kyrgios Forehand Drills | Build Spin, Power & Versatility

Forehand drills used by Nick Kyrgios to develop racket head speed, spin, and directional control. Build a forehand that attacks from anywhere on the court.

Key Points

  • Developing rip and topspin on your forehand improves consistency and can expose players weaknesses, while creating angles and pushing your opponent back in the court
  • Keep moving so you’re not standing and waiting
  • Recover in line with cone, not around it
  • Hit off different stances
  • Use deep targets at 3 quarter court on both sides
  • Hit 1 off-forehand and recover, 1 inside-in forehand and recover, and then a shorter, flat forehand
  • 5 Ball drill:
  • 1 forehand crosscourt
  • 1 forehand down the line
  • 1 forehand inside-in and inside-out
  • 1 attacking short forehand
  • Work on developing a forehand you can attack in all directions from all areas of the court, hitting flat and with spin
  • Progress drills from feeding to point play
  • Mix up feeds to different forehands to start the point
  • Keep the drills and points continuous, so it’s high intensity
