Set Up the Big Forehand!
Posted on Dec 16, 2007 under Playing Tips |You should always know where your partner will be and what areas should cover. #1 and #2 have taken the net and forced #3 and #4 to lob.
The Instructor (I) feeds the ball to #1’s backhand who tries to hit the Sports Target which is placed near the middle of the court at the baseline.
The Instructor (I) now feeds #1 the forehand and can either hit a running one or a run-around one. The first option is the running one where #1 must cover the court and can really hit out on the shot.
The second option is the run-around forehand where #1 back-pedals in order to hit a forehand instead of a backhand and again drills the shot at the Sports Target. It is crucial to emphasis that #1 is not try to hit the sideline with this shot, but rather to hit well enough inside the line that he can do it very aggressively.
