Visual practice this week

Find drive and drop lessons under Groundstrokes, resets and volleys under Net play, and your uploaded demonstrations under Videos. Choose one cue and one clip per session.

Four cues to carry onto court

01 / Arrive, then strike. Small adjustment steps. Balance at contact. Recover promptly.

02 / Support the wrist. A stable face through impact, followed by a natural finish. No deliberate lock-and-snap.

03 / Control the pace. Start drives at 60–70%. Earn speed through placement.

04 / Make their contact low. Judge a drop by the receiver’s contact, not just where it lands.
