3 Quick Ways to Work on Your Return of Serve
Posted on Dec 16, 2007 under Playing Tips |
1. The Instructor (I) serves the ball while #1 faces away from the I towards the back fence. When #1 hears contact with the ball, #1 must turn quickly and return the serve. This will shorten back swings and emphasize hitting through the returns.
2. Using tape, draw two lines and require #1 to move towards the Instructor (I) in order to hit returns. This will encourage forward momentum and teach timing on returns.
3. When the Instructor (I) tosses the ball, the player is required to spin before hitting the return. Again, this will shorten a player’s backswing and encourage the player to hit through returns.
