Getting Exhausted With Forehand Topspin Multiball Training

Hi Alois,

I feel even one round of multiball training of topspin against backspin is extremely exhausting. The drills I am doing right now don't even require a lot of footwork and there is a substantial wait (close to 2 seconds) between two balls, even then I feel exhausted having played 50-60 balls continuously. None of the other strokes seem so exhausting. This makes me wonder if there is something wrong in my technique that I am putting so much effort into it or this is really the case. I will admit that I am not the fittest person, so some part of it can be attributed to that :)

Hi Abhinav,

There may be a bit of extra work going on.  The right foot working too hard and the shoulder being a little tight may lead to extra effort required to play the topspin shot.  If you keep focusing on staying relaxed, especially in the shoulder this will all get better.
