Hi Alois,

After every shot I can't help but move back this is bad but it allows me to hit harder shots but if the rally goes on for long enough I have to lob, I have tried putting a barrier behind me whiles training and it helps a bit are there any other ways to help me stop this habit?

Hi Virgil,

The barrier is good but make sure you only leave it there for a short amount of time while training and then take it away and see how you go.  If you are stepping back again, you can re-introduce the barrier.  Keep putting it there and making it away otherwise you will become reliant on it in a math situation.

#32 - Effective Returns

In this training plan we put together all of the different returns we've learnt and focus on producing an effective return. You should be aiming to topspin all long serves and then weighing up your options on the short serve. A good short push is a great option but you also need some variation with either a flick or a long fast push. Go out and put this training plan into action and work on improving your return.
