Offensive Shots - Spin 2 Win

Aim: To develop spin on shots with a shorter back swing but creating racket head speed.

How: Set out cones in certain positions on the court, the service line is a good place to start. Get a player 2 to feed the ball to player 1's forehand. Player 1 must return it trying to hit one of the cones but the shot must also have topspin, backspin, or side spin (slice) on it.

Swap roles and repeat the drill.

Progressions:

Bring the cones closer to the net
Feed the ball to the backhand as well

Coaching Points:

Correct grips for each type of spin.
Make sure they are using a shortened back swing
