  POWERSTEP DRILL    
       
 

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.
