Hi

Having good support means having a good base to return a ball effectively, so it is important to work on your support.
With this exercise I work on the 3 main supports on the forehand:

It's quite simple:
I place myself at the level of the cone then the coach sends me 3 balls which I will have to return each time with a different support

1) Open support: This is a rather defensive support, it has the advantage of being quick to execute but there is little transfer of energy from the body forward in the strike.
2) Semi-support open: Promotes the transfer of energy forward, mainly used at the back of the court in construction play
3) Line support: Promotes forward energy transfer but requires a little more time to set up.

Between each strike I return to the block
