Target volleys
Success target: 6 of 10 volleys land within a racket's length of the called target.
How to run it
- 01Place two targets (cones, ball tubes, a towel): one deep in a corner, one just past the net on the sideline.
- 02Partner feeds from the back; you volley, calling "deep" or "short" before each feed.
- 03Deep volleys pin the opponents; short ones finish. Feel the difference in grip pressure.
- 0410 volleys, swap roles.
Why it works
