Cross-Court Backhand Neutralization & Variety Drill

Key points

• Groove continuous cross-court depth to keep the ball unattackable and protect court position
• Work on absorbing power when the opponent hits hard by using topspin or slice variety
• Ensure the ball stays deep so you can earn opportunities to attack with your main weapon on the next shot

Common mistakes

Changing direction down the line prematurely rather than sustaining cross-court quality and depth.
