Why this drill

The wall returns your volley in half a second — reflex training no human feeder can match. Ten minutes here and the doubles net feels slow.

Setup

Two to three meters from the wall, net-height line marked. Continental grip, ready position, knees soft.

The drill

Volley continuously against the wall with no bounce: fifteen forehand volleys, fifteen backhand volleys, then twenty alternating. Keep the pace gentle at first — control the rebound height so the rally is yours to sustain. Three rounds of the full block.

One thought to take on court

No backswing — block the ball in front of your eyes and squeeze the grip at contact.
