INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRACTICEHIT USE

Step1a - Stroking a stationary PracticeHit ball

Coach demonstrates preparation followed by a completes stroke in slow motion, emphasizing every aspect of the critical points during the stroke and follow through. Then stops and positions the oscillating ball back into optimum contact position and repeats the demonstration. Power is increased as students progress.

1b Student duplicates the slow motion stroke and coach makes required corrections. Students are permitted to increase power as progress justifies.

Step2a - Stroking a PracticeHit ball in motion

Coach uses basic footwork to stroke the PracticeHit ball on every 2nd or 3rd return oscillation, to keep the ball in motion.

2b Student duplicates the slow motion stroke and coach corrects as required and permits students to increase power as progress justifies. Coach drop-bounces balls to selected students, as remaining students continue drill 2b.

Step 3a - Stroking a PracticeHit ball in close proximity of the optimum hitting zone

Coach completes precise PracticeHit stroke and footwork drills in slow motion, emphasizing every aspect of the critical footwork positioning.

3b Student duplicates the slow motion stroke and coach corrects as required and permits students to increase power as progress justifies. Coach feeds short balls to selected students as remaining students continue PracticeHit drills.

Step 4a -  Meeting and stroking a ball directed outside of the basic hitting zone

Coach completes balanced and controlled footwork drills required for positioning to stroke the PracticeHit ball then bounces back to the tee to assume ready position, then bounces back, to again stroke the ball to keep it in motion. (Coaches will require lesson preparation time to acclimatize to timing requirements.)

4b Student duplicates stroke and footwork technique and coach corrects as required. Coach extends feed distance and feeds balls to selected students while other students continue PracticeHit drills.

Step 5 - Students may develop the use of the recoil ball

Master quick stroke reaction technique by using the Tennis Recoil Ball and repeatedly practicing the difficult reaction stroke required to return a volley. Note: The recoil ball returns quickly as if hit by a volley at the net.
