NEW TENNIS DRILL!
Partner shadow swing

You'll need:
β€’ 1 tennis racquet
β€’ 1 tennis ball
β€’ Your partner!

Forehand

1. Stand far enough apart so you avoid hitting your partner with the racquet!

2. One partner tosses the ball upward slightly in front of other partner

3. Partner with racquet does a shadow swing forehand just beneath the ball not hitting it

4. Catch the ball & repeat!

Make sure to toss the ball slightly in front

Balance it out! Now do you backhand

1. Stand far enough apart so you avoid hitting your partner with the racquet

2. One partner tosses the ball upward slightly in front of other partner

3. Partner with racquet does a shadow swing backhand just beneath the ball not hitting it

4. Catch the ball & repeat!

Switch positions and repeat!

This works on your:
- Impact point
- Focus
- Technique

Great tennis drill from home with your spouse to work on hand eye coordination, ball control, racquet feel and team work!

Grab a tennis racquet, ball and your favourite spouse!

1) Toss the ball to yourself
2) Bounce it on your own racquet two times
3) Catch the ball and toss it into your spouse's hand
4) Spouse repeats and keep practicing !

LEVEL UP!

1) Toss the ball to yourself
2) Bounce the ball twice on your own racquet
3) On the third bounce, bounce the ball to your spouse
4) Your spouse does the same thing to continue the rally

Let us know how many you get in a row together!
