- Tennis balls, Wall
Tennis balls thrown against a wall two meters away and caught with one hand, alternating. The bounce is unpredictable and the ball is too small to trap against your body: it’s the best hand work available to a player alone, against a wall, with nobody else.
Key points
- Use only one hand: the one on the side of the bounce.
- Move closer to the wall as it gets easier: this reduces your reaction time.
- Three sets of thirty, right hand, left hand, alternating.
Common mistakes
- Stepping back to buy time: that’s exactly the opposite of the progression you’re after.
- Always throwing at the same spot on the wall.
