Hi Pingskills,

I am looking for some help when it comes to feeding mutli ball. I know the best way to do it is to practice, but I am struggling to keep feeding the balls to the player at a consistent pace. I usually have three in my hand, and once the three have gone, I take a while to pick the next batch of balls up again and continue feeding. This tends to disrupt the flow of the practice.

How do you feed multi ball when you coach?

Hi Simon,

This is definitely a good skill to work on.

I often have 3 in my hand as well. What sort of container do you have the balls. Try to have them in an open container that is easily accessible. Feed the ball out at a pace that you are comfortable with to start with. The most important thing is rhythm rather than pace. So slow it down to the speed that you can pick the next bunch of balls up. As you get more comfortable you will start to be cleaner with picking up the next bunch of balls.

If you are finding 3 balls difficult to pick up then go back to two or even one at a time so you are getting better rhythm.
