In this week's video,

0:00:01.679,0:00:03.309
I'm gonna show you a drill that you can do

0:00:03.640,0:00:07.599
to flip a defensive position into an attacking position in singles.

0:00:12.289,0:00:13.289
Coach Alen from Targets,

0:00:13.329,0:00:13.840
I'm here,

0:00:13.970,0:00:15.520
and thanks for joining us for this week's video.

0:00:16.420,0:00:17.799
The drill that we're gonna do today

0:00:18.049,0:00:19.239
is called lob and follow.

0:00:20.290,0:00:21.309
So how it's gonna work,

0:00:21.489,0:00:24.219
Carwin is gonna start right by the net

0:00:24.489,0:00:25.979
with this racket touching the net tape,

0:00:26.370,0:00:27.930
and I'm gonna start back at the baseline.

0:00:28.670,0:00:30.850
I'm gonna play a lob feet to start the point.

0:00:31.299,0:00:33.290
Carwin's gonna go back and retrieve the lob,

0:00:33.580,0:00:35.409
and I'm gonna follow that feet to the net.

0:00:35.860,0:00:38.060
So, it should look a little bit like this.

0:01:10.639,0:01:11.000
Right.

0:01:39.910,0:01:40.940
The aim of this drill

0:01:41.110,0:01:43.540
is to flip defense into attack.

0:01:44.069,0:01:45.389
So at the start of the point,

0:01:45.510,0:01:47.260
you're in a very defensive position.

0:01:47.470,0:01:48.769
Your opponent's at the net;

0:01:49.269,0:01:50.680
you're back at the baseline.

0:01:51.230,0:01:54.339
By playing a good lob that goes over your opponent's head

0:01:54.620,0:01:56.339
and transitioning into the net,

0:01:56.629,0:01:59.260
you've now got yourself into a dominant attacking net position.

0:02:00.639,0:02:02.940
We almost certainly know that that lob retrieval

0:02:02.940,0:02:04.610
of our opponents is gonna be quite weak.

0:02:04.760,0:02:06.069
It's gonna be quite floaty,

0:02:06.279,0:02:08.788
unless they pull off the greatest Hollywood shot in history.

0:02:09.360,0:02:10.710
But if they don't,

0:02:11.000,0:02:13.759
then we're gonna almost certainly get an easy put away volley,

0:02:13.800,0:02:14.559
which we can kill.

0:02:16.429,0:02:18.380
