Corner Sprint Bursts
Why this drill
Set the oscillation to maximum width and the machine becomes a conditioning coach who never gets tired of watching you run. Six-ball bursts at full stretch build exactly the repeat-sprint engine tennis demands.
Setup
Machine at widest oscillation, brisk interval — a genuine sprint to reach each corner. Everything aimed deep middle; survival is the target.
The drill
Six-ball bursts: corner to corner at match sprint, every ball returned deep middle, then rest for double your work time while collecting yourself. Eight bursts. Count balls made per burst; the score that matters is the LAST burst compared to the first — the gap measures your engine.
One thought to take on court
Push off the outside leg and shuffle home through the middle — sprinting sideways is how ankles and points are lost.
