Get better at singles fast!

Tip of the day

This video features five specific drills designed to improve movement and shot selection for singles play.

The instructors demonstrate how to maintain depth from the baseline to keep opponents pinned back.

You will see how transitioning between drives and drops builds the stamina needed for long rallies.

The training emphasizes stepping into shots to use body weight for more power and penetration.

Specific drills involve hitting two crosscourt shots followed by one down the line to improve court coverage.

There is also a focus on attacking with confidence on the third and fifth shots of a point.

Using these targets helps players automate their decision making during high pressure matches.

Key points

Crosscourt rallies should prioritize high net clearance to ensure the ball stays deep.
Transitioning between drives and drops helps players develop better touch and endurance.
Stepping into the ball rather than using an open stance provides more penetration on drives.
Practicing specific patterns like the butterfly drill improves lateral movement and court awareness.
