Fast Hands Drill – Skill Level 2.5. CAN BE HARD HITTING IF ADEQUATELY SKILLED
This drill is intended to improve your responsiveness to volleys while near the NVZ. The majority of these shots should be hit with the paddle in the backhand position, directly at your opponent’s mid-section. This shot emphasizes the value of a backhand slam (push) toward your opponent’s backhand tennis shoe (during a game).
Drill Execution – Have 4 players stand at the NVZ line (2/side) and start by executing a medium paced volley directly across the net. Continue play by increasing the pace of the ball and changing directions (cross court). Keep the ball in play, by hitting directly to the mid-section of an opponent.
