drills
======

repeat N times (eg. 10 to 20), and swap positions/sides if
required.


* boast, drive

+ from the front, the drive can be straight or cross-court

+ from the back, can only do 2 (or 3) of: boast, drop, drive

+ both of above

NB. place something (like a can or bag) at the T, as a target
for each player to get to (touch with racket) after each shot.

Look for:

a winning shot will be quite rare, but a good/better shot will
streatch the opponent away from the T.

if you find yourself being streatched, then play a higher/slower
shot to give yourself more time to recover.


* boast, drop, drop, drive

the front player - stay forward and move in from the centre,
to allow space for the other player.


* boast, drive, drive


* boast, x-lob, v-drive

start by playing a loose lob, as a feed for the volley,
look to play a good length from the volley


---------------------------------------------------------------

warp-up style - staying on one side

volleys -

hit one to yourself, one cross court - all over service line


cross to volley-drop -

when receiving the cross, come forward to take a volley, play
a straight drop, or cross drop to the nick, then re-feed it
cross to the other player.


half court games -

front only, first bounce before short line

back only, first bounce behind short line

---------------------------------------------------------------

for deception
=============

feed and call

single side, feeder at back.

plays high to mid court, T player moves in to hit ???

feeder calls 'long' or 'short'.

----

then front player decides, and tries to beat (decieve) the
feeder, whom has to retrieve the shot - above service line
as the next feed.

---------------------------------------------------------------

front court volleys

2 shots each, A is behind B, B stays more central

player A - straight volley short
then lift cross court for B
A moves across behind B

player B - cross volley short
B moves across in front of A
then lift cross court for A

---------------------------------------------------------------

lobs

height is most important - to delay opponent from taking the ball
early.


drops

take ball early, at top of bounce and in front of you.
can play with an open face with a bit of cut.
