The Drill Dude
No coaching, just drilling
My job is to feed you tennis balls to help you develop your game to where your strokes and footwork are fundamentally sound. Then you can play matches in the zone - without thinking about your strokes.
Strive To Improve!
Drills teach you to become target oriented for each stroke. Targets point out your weaknesses better than any other teaching method. To quote legendary coach Vic Braden, “Winning is not the only thing in tennis. It’s the striving to win and striving to improve that is important.” As in life, simply do your best, and God will not deny you grace.
Develop Consistency
Consistency is the foundation that the rest of your tennis game will be built upon. By drilling you will learn to clear the net and keep the ball within the lines of the court.
Develop Control
Once you have developed the ability to keep your shots in the court consistently, your next goal is placement. By placing targets on the court, you can learn to hit the ball accurately.
Develop Footwork
By using random ball feeds, you will learn to keep your feet moving before and after your stroke, so that each point becomes one continuous movement, and not just a series of starts and stops.
Develop Consistency and Control With Drills
The foundation of a winning tennis player is consistency and control, made possible by using great footwork. Then you can play your matches in the zone without thinking about your strokes.I believe you must work on your tennis strokes with non-competitive drills, allowing yourself to practice with a purpose in mind on every shot.
