๐ฏ TARGET HITTING โ PLAY THE COURT, NOT JUST THE OPPONENT
Too often, players focus only on the opponent on the other side of the net. I prefer my players to focus on specific target areas on the court.
Thatโs why we use these target boxes. ๐ฏ
The idea is simple: hit with purpose.
By consistently finding these deeper targets, you can:
๐พ Move your opponent from side to side
๐พ Push them deeper behind the baseline
๐พ Take time and court position away from them
๐พ Create the opportunity for a shorter ball
And once that short ball arrives, you can step in and attack โ or, if your opponent has been pushed well behind the baseline, even use the drop shot.
In these clips, Stas Majewski and Eben van der Niet demonstrate the drill and the importance of playing to areas rather than simply hitting the ball back.
Good tennis isnโt only about how well you hit the ball โ itโs about WHERE you hit it. ๐ฏ๐พ
