Deep High-Bounce Defensive Recovery Drill

Defend against heavy topspin balls fed hard into the ground side to side for 20 shots, training footwork adjustments, height over the net, and fitness.

Key points

  • Adjust footwork and positioning backwards to get behind heavy, high-kicking topspin bounces
  • Hit with extra net clearance and height to ensure deep court depth from a defensive position
  • Recover quickly back to position after hitting on the run from deep beyond the baseline

Common mistakes

Attempting to hit flat or drive through heavy balls from deep defensive positions, resulting in balls landing in the net or short.
