Can anyone tell me any good tennis drills to help improve my game?

Question

I am an advanced player!!!! good drills please not begginer drills

Answer 1

There are many tennis drills you can do to get better.  

Jump Rope - Helps you to get stronger calf muscles and quicker feet.

Another good drill is bouncing the ball on your strings and against the ground, it helps your hand eye cordination.

Hitting against a ball machine or a wall also helps your consistancy.  work on hitting the ball cross court and down the line, when you hit the ball try to hit the ball in the corners, not the middle of the court,

A big thing that can help you excell in tennis no matter how good you are is get some lessons from the local pro in your city, normally they can be found in country clubs with tennis courts.

See what your coach is critiquing you about by video taping your groundstrokes. A cheap tripod is only 20 bucks and most digital cameras have a video recording option. This way you can upload onto your computer, and break down your stroke mechanics frame by frame. Good shoulder turn? Split step on time? Knee bend? Making contact in front of your body? Etc...

As far as drills, for ground strokes I like just focusing on directional control in different situations will a ball machine or someone feeding me, ie: going cross court, down the line and inside out. Don't just do it standing still though, have the ball machine or feeder hit it away from you and practice hitting on the run.

For vollies i've found volleying against a wall, while extremely tough at first, helps you develop cat like reflexes.

Most people don't come into a game with a strategy... they just depend on physical gifts to get them by. At matches, during your warm up with you opponent, take notice of what shots he favors. Does he run around his backhand? Hit him a drop shot and see if he comes to the net and stay there, or does he retreat back to the security of the baseline. Have a strategy to beat him based on his game and stick to it.

If you're looking to bring up your strength and speed outside of the court. Cross training like boxing will help develop upper body strength, flexibility and stamina. Unlike lifting weights, here you're focusing on explosive movements. Playing fullcourt basketball will help increase your hustle and sprints as well as endurance. I generally recommend compound movements over isolations exercises when sport specifc training.

The best advice though is to keep having fun. When it becomes boring or a chore, you're not having fun and all your practicing becomes ineffective.

Answer 4

If you don't have a game and want to play that same day, go find a backboard. I have played and taught tennis for decades to many families and players, and the best place for consistantcy is the good ole' backboard. No. 2: play a match. While hitting against a backboard if you ever see a player a little less to a lot better game than yourself, challenge him. Ask him for a game and see what you can do. Last but not least: watch the ball. Turn, step into your ball(shot), and swing, following through to the corner of the fence regardless if it is your forehand or backhand. In tennis since the 1970's, it is the aggressiveness that improves a player. Don't stay on the baseline. Attack. Come into the net. Serve and volley. Be aggressive. If you are not an old man or lady, a coordinated child who can just get the ball back, or somone who is simply coordinated will defeat you consistantly. Be aggressive and practice this. Nobody will ever compete with your aggression if you take control.

Answer 5

If you are advanced, then you either have a coach, or know of one. Contact him/her, and either you can do a one on one or a group drill session. My coach and I, whetehr alone or group play, do a bunch of cross cour forehands, backhands, down the line forehands, backhands, side to side, net play, and serve/returns.  We also do a drill where he has me hit a deep forehand, follow  in to net, then do an over head. Usually do these for 90 minutes, then do point play. Definitely improves all strokes/shots. If alone, then either rent a ball machine, or practice strokes against a wall.
