How to drill the Passing Shot Execution
- 1
Opponent Position Reading
Identify when your opponent is at the net but slightly out of position, creating space for passing shot opportunities.
- 2
Target Zone Selection
Choose a target zone (sideline, alley, or gap at the net) that forces the opponent to react and reach.
- 3
Grip and Setup
Use a stable groundstroke grip with balanced stance, preparing to hit with controlled power rather than maximum force.

Directed Swing Path
Execute the stroke along a direct line to your target, minimizing unnecessary loop or elevation.

Speed and Depth
Strike with controlled pace (not maximum power) to ensure consistency while forcing a quick volley response.

Recovery and Rally Continuation
Recover to ready position quickly, prepared for the opponent's volley response or to continue the rally.
Coach's tip
