In tennis, hand-feeding drills are underutilized, despite the fact that they can help you with many technical fundamentals. Here are some of the ins and outs when it comes to hand-feeding drills:
• Since the hand-feed is done by a partner or coach in close proximity, it is easy for the feeder to give tips and reminders during the respective drills.
• Since the hand-feed provides less pace than a typical feed from the other side of the net, it allows the player to be even more deliberate and detailed when it comes to working on
a specific fundamental skill. (Early preparation, extended follow throughs, contact point, spacing, load and unload, footwork transition, coil and uncoil, racquet head speed, just to name a few)
• For beginners and kids, hand-feeds provide a less overwhelming method for them to learn how to gauge the ball, their stroke technique, their footwork, positioning and spacing in relation to the ball, etc..
• Anybody, including a non-tennis player, can be a good feeder. Not just anyone can feed well with a racquet from the other side of the net.
All in all, even the pros like to practice with hand-feeding, as these drills can help players find their optimal timing and feel for the ball. Give it a shot!
