Short Mid-Court Attack & On-the-Rise Putaway Drill

Step inside the baseline to attack short mid-court feeds using your primary weapon (demonstrated with 20 forehands). Take the ball on the rise before the apex of the bounce to rob opponents of recovery time.

Key points

  • Step forward quickly into the court upon identifying a short ball
  • Take the ball on the rise before it reaches the peak/apex of the bounce to take away time
  • Flatten out higher balls for aggressive pace and add topspin on lower balls for target precision

Common mistakes

Waiting for the short ball to peak and drop before striking, allowing the opponent time to recover.
