Tip of the day

Get stuck guessing forehand or backhand in a hands battle and you are already a ball behind. Caden Cox says a wall is a cheat code for training hands, and he uses three drills to do it.

Drill one is walking up and back volleys. Start a decent distance from the wall and hit forehand and backhand volleys as you work your way up, then work your way back.

Farther back, you are forced to hit harder, which helps you put balls away in game hand rallies. Closer to the wall, you get less time to react, which trains your reaction time and makes game rallies seem slower.

Drill two is stationary, a little more than a kitchen length from the wall. Alternate forehand and backhand, hitting the ball twice on each side before you switch.

This one works on placing the ball during hand battles instead of letting your opponent control where it goes. The biggest thing to focus on is resetting your paddle after every hit, so you are ready for either side instead of stuck guessing.

It looks easy and it is not, so expect some misses at first.

Drill three is his favorite, speed up and counter patterns, because fast hands often come from anticipation rather than reaction time. Feed yourself a high bounce, speed it up into the wall, then counter what comes back, and do it with out of the air speed ups too.

These are real game patterns. After a forehand speed up down the line, expect the ball back down the line to your forehand or at your body, and after a forehand cross body speed up, expect it at your backhand, like a triangle.

The backhand works the same way in reverse. Down the line comes back to your backhand or your body, and cross body comes back to your forehand.

What the text cannot show you is how quickly the ball comes back off the wall as he walks in close, which is the whole point of drill one.

Key points

  • Walk up to the wall and back while volleying, hitting harder from far away and reacting faster up close.

  • From a little more than a kitchen length away, hit twice on each side before switching from forehand to backhand.

  • Reset your paddle after every hit so you are ready for either side.

  • Feed a high bounce, speed it up into the wall, and counter what comes back.

  • After a forehand speed up down the line, expect the ball back down the line or at your body, and after one cross body, expect it at your backhand.
