An effective returner should be able to handle fast serves, be balanced and have the ability to recover quickly after the shot.
In this video we break down the top 3 drills to help you become a better returner. We focus on:
1. Split step and first step - helping you push off in either direction with the ability to reach balls that are further away while staying balanced on the stretch.
2. Reduced backswing - when handling power like on a fast serve having a big take-back can be a real disadvantage as timing becomes difficult. The best players prefer compact swings with contact point in front.
3. Reactions - as a returner you have little time to react to the direction of the serve so having lightning reflexes and a quick impulse to turn and reach for the correct side is vital to be able to retrieve the ball.
