baseliner, moonballer, slicer, and lefty. In addition, the Club 2 tennis ball
machine is loaded with six additional drills replicating game like rallies.
Master aspects of the game by practicing against; forehand plus, transition,
attack/defend, beginner, intermediate, and the advanced drill.
Moonballer
Drill
Moonballers can be a nightmare to play against. Think of it like slow pitch
softball. The high arcing pitch looks like it should be easy to hit, but it's
not! To play the moonballer, you need patience or a combination of patience and
a good midcourt swinging volley to move forwards and finish the points. Try
practicing both!
Also, don't be afraid to move back and let the high
bouncing ball drop to a more comfortable height.
Slicer
Drill
Some of the most effective club level players are called "hackers" by their
friends. Others call them "slicers and dicers!" Typically these players can
slice or chop their groundstrokes, keeping the ball low and hard to return. To
play a "slicer" remember to bend your knees a little lower than normal, minimize
unforced errors, and be ready for a long match! These players are usually very
steady and will move you all around the court.
Lefty
Drill
Most players are right-handed, which can make playing a lefty a relatively
uncomfortable experience. Just don't be the player who doesn't even realize they
just played a lefty until the match is over! It's important to know that most
left-handers have strong forehands groundstrokes and strong backhand volleys.
But, they often have weaker slice backhand groundstrokes and have trouble with
low forehand volleys. The feeds from the machine in this sequence are designed
to simulate what a lefty might throw at you!
The
Grinder Drill
The Grinder tries to wear down his opponents physically and mentally, waiting
for the other player to make a crucial mistake. This player hits high, loopy,
moderate spin shots that will challenge all players.
A six ball drill that utilizes the back court with different types of spin.
Power
Baseliner Drill
The Power Baseliner is a player who is explosive in their shot selection,
playing with pace and aggression and minimal spin. This player exhibits an
attacking style, known as "first strike" tennis.
A six ball drill that utilizes full back court with little spin and more ball
speed.
All-Courter
Drill
The All-Courter is a player type that focuses their game on tactical savvy.
He/she can compete well from the baseline and will come to the net to finish
points. When playing this type of player, expect a great deal of shot variety.
A six ball drill that utilizes both full back court and front court with some
top spin and less ball speed.
BEGINNER
Beginners need encouragement and success. This 6-ball drill is meant to help
beginners improve and build confidence. Balls are fed into the middle 50% of the
court, at slow to medium speed and land in the area between the service line and
9 feet in front of the baseline. Beginners should try to hit all 6 balls to land
past the service line on the opposite side of the net. A more challenging
variation is for the hitter to call out which side of the court they are aiming
for (crosscourt or down the line) before striking each ball. Hit 6 balls and
then pause the machine to simulate a relatively long point.
INTERMEDIATE
Intermediates need to be challenged to reach more advanced levels. This
6-ball drill will help intermediates improve their court coverage and execute a
variety of shots. The goal for the hitter is to land all 6 balls behind the
service line with 4 of the 6 balls to land in the deep half of the backcourt
area as shown in the diagram. Hit only 6 balls at a time and then pause the
machine to simulate a relatively long point. A more challenging variation is for
the hitter to call out which side of the court they are aiming for (crosscourt
or down the line) before striking each ball.
ADVANCED
Advanced players need to be challenged by pace and placement to reach even
more advanced levels. This drill is designed to help advanced players develop
higher shot tolerance while learning to quickly identify "opportunity" balls
that can be attacked. Hit at least 2 balls into a right-handed opponent's
backhand court, then on the next relatively short ball fed from the machine,
attack that ball with an inside-in forehand to the opponent's forehand side. Hit
it crosscourt or run around a backhand to execute this shot. The only rule is
the machine is only allowed to feed 6 balls in each sequence before being
paused. Therefore the hitter will be pressured to look for the first opportunity
ball to attack on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th ball fed.
FOREHAND
PLUS DRILL
The Forehand Plus drill throws balls with moderate topspin and more arc
giving the player more time to set-up for a forehand shot. This drill will
accentuate the player's dominant forehand stroke while maintaining proper court
position.
A six ball drill challenging the player to maintain dominant court position by
using their forehand for every shot.
ATTACK
/ DEFEND DRILL
The Attack/Defend drill throws balls using greater ball speed and minimal
spin making the player move in and out of the corners and across the baseline
quickly. This drill will put emphasis on the mental and physical aspects needed
to both attack and defend against your opponent's shots.
A six ball drill designed to teach a player to move in all directions from the
baseline.
APPROACH
DRILL
The Approach drill throws balls with various spins and arcs aimed for the
player to approach into the court after playing an aggressive ball. This drill
will promote correct approach and net position, along with the proper covering
of the line.
A six ball drill emphasizing the approach from behind the baseline into the
front court with balance and speed.
