This tennis drill is very easy to do and very effective especially for singles and, for intermediate and advanced players.

Player should prepare from the baseline center mark. Pro feeds 5 balls to the player, it can be forehand / backhand or all forehand or all backhand, defending on player's ability and/or on what the pro would want his/her player to improve.

Player should hit 5 good shots in a row, singles court and should pass the service line, otherwise he/she will go back to 0 (zero) whenever a shot is missed.

The pro can then increase the number of balls to give to his/her player. This is to improve their ability to focus on every shot.

It is also effective in building stamina plus consistency and nerves practice.
