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.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
