Decision Making & Variety Groundstroke Drill using Orange, Green and Yellow Tennis Balls

Player 1 starts with 1 orange, 1 green and 1 yellow tennis ball. Player 2 has their eyes closed or back turned. Player 1 chooses a ball and feeds in shouting “Go” when they hit the ball. Player 2 opens their eyes and has to hit a certain spin based on the colour of the ball hit towards them.

Orange Ball – Backspin or Sidespin
Green Ball – Topspin
Yellow Ball – Flat

The two players then just play out the point using any shot or any spin.

See variations using two tennis balls at the end of the video, incorporating the 5 ball controls.
