Lob and Follow - FUN SINGLES TENNIS DRILL!

In this week's video,

I'm gonna show you a drill that you can do

to flip a defensive position into an attacking position in singles.

Coach Alen from Targets,

I'm here,

and thanks for joining us for this week's video.

The drill that we're gonna do today

is called lob and follow.

So how it's gonna work,

Carwin is gonna start right by the net

with this racket touching the net tape,

and I'm gonna start back at the baseline.

I'm gonna play a lob feet to start the point.

Carwin's gonna go back and retrieve the lob,

and I'm gonna follow that feet to the net.

So, it should look a little bit like this.

Right.

The aim of this drill

is to flip defense into attack.

So at the start of the point,

you're in a very defensive position.

Your opponent's at the net;

you're back at the baseline.

By playing a good lob that goes over your opponent's head

and transitioning into the net,

you've now got yourself into a dominant attacking net position.

We almost certainly know that that lob retrieval

of our opponents is gonna be quite weak.

It's gonna be quite floaty,

unless they pull off the greatest Hollywood shot in history.

But if they don't,

then we're gonna almost certainly get an easy put away volley,

which we can kill.

Thank you so much for watching this week's video.

Big thanks to Coach Carwin,
