To allow
players to feel the explosiveness and foot
placement pattern of the Powerstep this
drill is excellent. It requires both correct
footwork in combination with correctly
sequenced rotation. By using a medicine ball
and a wall you can perform a series of very
dynamic Powerstep plus rotation drills in
order to condition the body and co-ordinate
the mind to reproduce this movement pattern.
The key to this drill is the timing between
the step and the throw in order that the
player releases the ball in the air before it is
re-caught. You also
notice that the players perform this into
both directions as the Powerstep occurs on
both the forehand and the backhand sides.
