- How to Counterpunch Against a Drive with a Ball Machine
- Place the ball machine just inside the baseline, raised 1-2 feet off the ground for a more straight trajectory.
- Adjust the controls to deliver the ball low over the net, at a relatively high speed, with slight topspin, directly at your body, with enough time to recover in between shots.
- Aim your volley down to your would-be opponent’s feet as they move forward. Setting up targets can be helpful.
- Keep a neutral ready position until the ball is released to avoid cheating to one side.
