This week I’ve been working on finding the right balance, spacing, and timing to hit down-the-line shots. My favorite drill has been hitting two balls cross-court, then taking the third one down the line. In this video, I’m focusing only on down the line because I’m still learning where on the ball to make contact to create enough spin and find the correct impact point. I’m not yet consistently hitting through the proper window above the net — as you can see here, the ball is still traveling a bit higher than it should, closer to a cross-court height. I just need to learn how to bring that window down a little more and do it consistently. This is my first week working on this, and I’m excited to keep putting in the reps and building this skill. #tennis #tennislesson #drills
