What sort of training drills can I use to improve fluidity and timing on intermediate players?

Hi Fabian,

I think the main thing is to get them to put attention on the tension in different parts of their body initially.

Then do a lot of drills where they start with something simple like hitting from one position.  As they start to feel smooth with that, then increase the difficulty by increasing speed or placement options.  They will get more tense again so let them work through that till they stat to feel smooth again.

The most important thing is getting their attention there.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
