Drill

Instructions

1. 1Set a target cone well out in front and slightly to the side of the contact zone.
2. 2Swing so the racquet head travels through and past the cone before finishing high.
3. 3Check that the hitting arm is nearly straight at contact, not bent.

What to focus on

Full arm extension through the ball and out toward the target.

Common mistake

Cutting the swing short with a bent, defensive arm.
