Here's a great drill for any level of player.Grab a partner and start a rally. Try to hit five balls each (10 total) back and forth over the net and inside the singles lines.
Work your way up to 10 each, then 20, then 30. Try to get to 50 shots each, that's a 100 shot rally! Don't stop there, try and find out how long you and your buddy can keep a rally going.
If either player misses, it's back to zero for both!
When you can get to 100 using the whole court, toughen it up a bit. Make sure every ball lands PAST the service line. Anything inside the service line is out and you must both start again from zero.
If you do this drill for 10-20 mins at the start of every session, you'll be amazed how much your consistency will improve and how you'll be able to find the court when the chips are down and the pressure is on.
Remember to swing through the ball to get it to land deep. No pushing or tentative swings. If you are afraid to miss, you probably will miss. Don't go for the lines, but don't hit weak moonballs either.
