Isolating one quarter in the back of the court, both players need to try and get the ball into this area and at the same time looking to step forward and capitalise a volley opportunity with a straight volley drop
Exercise Notes:Play first to 11-points then swap sides

Description:
This game is one of Nick Matthew's all time favourites as it forces you to not sit back and let the ball reach the back wall. It increases players speed as well as the mindset to hunt the volley as much as possible
Exercise Notes:Play first to 15-points
