Chip and Charge
Posted on Dec 15, 2007 under Drills |This series teaches players how to attack the net and create pressure for opponents.
#1 serves to #2’s backhand side, and #2 tries to chip (slice) the return to the corner.
As #1 moves to the ball, #2 races to the net to gain the best possible court position (close to the net and balanced) Now #1 has lots of pressure to product a great shot or lose the point. After 5 minutes, switch roles and continue.
When on the “ad” side, #2 will chip down the line to #1’s forehand and move in. By not going crosscourt, #2 is able to move straight in and avoids opening the court.
