Level Up with Accurate Baseline Drives
If you want to add depth and power to your game, mastering your baseline drives is essential. Follow these simple steps to improve.
1. Perfect Your Stance
Maintain a low, athletic stance with your weight slightly forward. This will give you the balance you need for effective drives.
2. Focus on Footwork
Quick, small steps will help you get into the right position. Make sure to pivot your back foot to open up your hips.
3. Control Your Swing
Keep your swing compact and controlled. Generate power from your torso rotation, not just your arm.
4. Follow Through
A complete follow-through is key to maintaining accuracy. Your paddle should end up pointing towards your target.
Practice these tips regularly to see noticeable improvements in your baseline drives.
