Lesson 41:
Forehand Groundstroke | Consistency 9
This is a mental strength tennis game in which the player practices forehand groundstrokes consistency and placement under pressure.
The ball machine will feed balls deep to my forehand side.
I will practice hitting 9 balls in a row cross-court, then 9 balls in a row down-the-line, followed by 9 more alternating side to side; if at any point, I miss a shot, I will replay the respective series of 9 balls... from 0.
Use topspin (or slice) to control the ball depth, and prepare for the ball early for good body balance.
I chose 9 balls in a row for this drill, but you can go for any number that you find challenging; the cones I placed should be used as visual aids and you should not stress about knocking them down when practicing this game.
Secret: I found that in order to be consistent, it helps to count every shot as I hit - it distracts the mind from negative thoughts that might occur under pressure.
