Can you please tell what and how should a defender practice?
Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago
Hi Rutvik,
There are similar drills for defenders that you can do. If you look at the Training Drills download and then adapt that for defence. For example instead of doing the FH FH footwork with a counterhit you can do it with a chop.
We also have a lesson on Defensive Footwork which will help you.

Perfecting the Push
This week's master class is called Perfecting the Push. To have a great push you need to first see how much backspin is on the ball as it is coming towards you. Then you need to alter your stroke to counter this backspin. You also need to concentrate on generating your own backspin to make it harder for you opponent.
