Notes & Homework
Skill:Â Cross Court Dink to Pass
- #1 Select the right ball: must be from the outside quadrant to pass down the line
- #2 Aim just beyond your opponents feet - not to the back corner
- Appropriate depth on this shot will take away and attackable ball from your opponent Soften hand and take your time.
- Rushing this shot will put too much pace on it and lift it up.
Drill: Cross Court Dink to Pass Toss
- Target rings set up down the lines about 3 feet off the NVLÂ
- Set players up cross court from each other.Â
- 1 Player is tossing a cross court ball into the outside quadrantÂ
- 1 Player is hitting the passing shot aiming at the target ring.Â
- Rotate so both players hit and toss from both odd and even sides.
Skill:Â Erne
- When To Hit: Opponent close to sideline & compromised. Achieve by hitting them side to side, then go. Or push them deeper over course of a few shots. Or deep sideline dink causes them to look down to hit ball.
- Prep: Follow ball as it goes to the sideline-can straddle corner as a start if needed. Partner shades with you. You can jump corner or go around it.
Drill: Dink to Erne
- Players stand straight on at NVZ.
- Engage in a cooperative dink rally taking turns setting up and hitting the rne.
- Play to your strengths and capitalize on attackable balls near the sideline.
