Backhand Rail Drill - Make Contact Down Low, and Repeat

The Second Backhand in a Series of Twenty

Steve Hufford
Make contact down low to hit another good backhand rail, then keep moving and hit as many of these backhands in a row as you can. Each time, the ball should hit the front wall, take one bounce, and be struck again. Each time, you should hit perfectly straight. Avoid letting the ball hit the side wall. If it does, or if the ball bounces twice before you can reach it, start the drill over again by tossing the ball onto the side wall.
