Offensive Forcing Return Drill

Against weaker second serves or floating deliveries, step well inside the baseline and attack the ball as a forcing shot, driving aggressively down the line or pulling it sharp crosscourt to seize immediate control of the point.

Key points

  • Step forward into the court to take the ball early on the rise
  • Avoid returning passively down the middle where the server is recovering
  • Commit to a definitive directional forcing target: aggressive down-the-line or sharp crosscourt angle

Common mistakes

Hitting aggressive returns back through the middle of the court into the opponent's strike zone.
