The coach is inside the service line having a basket of balls ready. The player (A) is at the baseline, opposite side.
Drill:
The coach feeds a ball to player A. The player will return the ball hard at the coach who volleys it back deep to the baseline. The player’s second shot will be a lob deep over the coach (who will raise the racquet to check if the ball flies over it).
Note: For a distance cue, a line of cones can be placed inside the baseline.
Purpose of the drill:
This exercise can be made into a tactic against a player who comes up to the net: hit the first ball aggressively to him then when he expects the second shot to be another powerful stroke or a pass, the baseline player will surprise the net player with a lob.
