Inside-Out & Cross-Court All-Forehand Weapon Pattern Drill

Play the entire baseline using only the forehand wing. Hit regular forehands to the right and run around backhand balls to hit inside-out forehands targeting the opponent's backhand.

Key points

  • Use your stronger stroke (the forehand) as much as possible to force the opponent onto their weaker wing
  • Move aggressively around the ball on the backhand side to create space for an inside-out forehand
  • Choose defined targets: either continuous balls into the opponent's backhand or alternating forehand cross and inside-out cross

Common mistakes

Failing to create adequate lateral spacing when running around the backhand, resulting in cramped contact.
