Practice exercises using hand-fed or machine-fed balls where conditions are controlled and predictable
Definition
Practice exercises using hand-fed or machine-fed balls where conditions are controlled and predictable. Dead ball drills are ideal for isolating a specific technique and building initial muscle memory without the complexity of a live ball.
You control the ball's speed, height, and direction, allowing the player to focus entirely on the target technique without having to read a live opponent.
Hand-feed volley practice (tosser stands beside the net and feeds gently), backwall approach drills, and smash practice from coach lobs are ideal starting points.
