A key skill when dealing with a deep ball is learning how to get back behind it and give yourself enough time to prepare.
✅ Split step early to react quickly.
✅ Turn your shoulders as you move back to create a strong unit turn.
✅ Get the racket back early so you’re fully prepared before the ball arrives.
✅ When pushed deeper in the court, look to add more height over the net to increase your margin for error and help recover your court position.
Good preparation leads to better balance, cleaner contact, and more consistent shot-making under pressure.
💡 Remember: Don’t rush the swing and focus on getting into position early and giving yourself the best chance to play an effective shot.
