Call Your Shot

Why this drill

Choosing forehand or backhand before the rebound declares itself — then moving to make the call true — trains the decision-and-move habit that separates players from ball-hitters.

Setup

Five meters from the wall, rallying near the center of your wall space so either wing is always possible.

The drill

Call "forehand" or "backhand" aloud AS YOUR BALL LEAVES YOUR STRINGS — before the rebound's direction is obvious — then move to honor the call. A kept call scores one; a broken call scores minus one. Rally to plus ten. Alternate calls deliberately so neither wing hides.

One thought to take on court

Commit the feet the instant you call — a call without a first step is just commentary.
