Why this drill
Confidence overhead is purely a function of repetitions, and matches provide about three per set. The machine provides sixty in ten minutes — a season of overheads in one basket.
Setup
Machine lofting lobs to the service-box area. Start at the net, cones deep in both corners.
The drill
Sixty overheads in sets of ten: first set from a standstill, balls smashed after the bounce; then progressively — out of the air, deeper lobs, alternating corner targets, and finally starting each rep touching the net before skipping back. Count corner-zone hits in the last three sets.
One thought to take on court
Point your off hand at the ball and hit up through it — an overhead is a serve you've already tossed.
