Forehand–Backhand Alternation
WallNTRP 2.5–3.510 minforehandbackhandfootwork
Why this drill
Grooves the grip change and the footwork between shots — the transition where club strokes actually break down. The wall's fast return leaves no time to admire your last shot.
Setup
Five to seven meters from the wall, net line marked. Enough space to move a step or two sideways.
The drill
Alternate strictly — forehand, backhand, forehand, backhand — one bounce each, every ball above the line. Move your feet so each shot is hit from a proper hitting stance rather than reached across your body. Twenty alternations is the target streak. Three attempts; log the best.
One thought to take on court
Change the grip during the shuffle, not at the ball.
