What's the diffrence between the match drill and the other?  And how to practice for my backhand stroke and footwork.  And coming to the match, how to build the confidence in the match?

Hi Amith,

A match drill is one that starts with a serve and tries to emulate a situation in a match.

A training drill is usually aimed at improving footwork.  It involves a set of strokes that are linked.  We can have 2, 3, 4 or more set strokes involved in a drill.

We have a free download of drills.  They are in the Free Downloads page.

You will find that if you practice a lot of match drills you will start to get used to different situations that you will face in a match.  This will develop your confidence.
