Answer for where-to-start?

Hey Michael, welcome to the Academy! That’s great to hear you’re keen to improve and learn, we’ll do our best to help you along the way!

Ok so I think you’re spot on just to keep building the basics well and getting a good foundation. We are currently updating and freshening up all our basic videos in that section so have a look at those and also the regular footwork drills in our training drills section as well, there’s lots of good footwork drills to help you build consistency in there.

I would spend 90 minutes or so in total for a training session with a partner, including a warm up with forehand and backhand drives and then footwork drills and then time spent on serve and return drills.

I think you’re also absolutely right it would be great if you send us in a short clip of you playing and that will give us the best chance to give you advice on what to work on and areas to improve. So you can post a video link directly in here for me and I’ll give you some feedback.

Tom 🙂
