Tennis Skills Drills
what are some good tennis drills to do with a friend?
My friend and I are beginning tennis players and we are trying to inscrease our skills. What are some drills we can do with each other to help on our control and anything else. Please, don’t say “You need a trainer.” because we’re working on that but until then what are some things we can do with each other?
Well I would recommend working on technique, if you’re not going to get a trainer then you need to make sure that you are developing the right technique, this may not seem that important at first but if you have the right technique then you will be able to increase the potency of your shots as time goes on. Shots with incorrect technique that are more effective may not be more effective in the long run. I would recommend going on youtube where you can watch some of the best players in the world hit their best shots in slow motion. There’s also a ton of website which you can go on which will give you tips on stuff, although the only one I can think of off the top of my head is fuzzyyellowballs.com
Make sure you guys know the rules because it could be a bit disheartening to learn that one of the things that you love to do is actually wrong in a singles match. Also try hard to even out the time you spend with your forehand and backhand, most people tend to have a worse backhand at first so make sure you work on that and turn it into a real weapon. You could also work on your volleys too. While you’re learning though try not to get too competitive! No matter what level you are tennis should be about having fun!
