1.Serve — deep with placement (middle/backhand). Target: 18/20 deep.
2. Return — deep with placement, then follow in 3 quick steps. Target: 18/20 deep
3. Third Shot — drop when the ball is below net height; drive high/short to the hip. Always follow in.
Simple drills (run this week):
- Depth reps: 20 serves + 20 returns to the last 3 ft. Track makes.
- Third-Shot Matrix: 8 drops baseline, 8 drops mid-court, 8 drives to backhand hip—call the choice before contact.
- Follow-In Habit: after every third, take 3 shuffles toward NVZ—no watching.
Comment:
- My focus: Serve / Return / Third
- One drill I’ll run (what + when):
- Target (e.g., 16/20 deep serves)
- Optional: Progress Tracker snap or short clip
I’ll reply with one cue for each comment.
