Wall Drop Touch
Why this drill
Third-shot drop practice without a feeder. The wall cannot judge your arc, but the tape line and a landing zone can — and the self-feed format means every single rep is a drop, with no waiting on a partner's feed quality.
Setup
Wall with the 34-inch line and the 3-foot upper line. Stand fifteen to twenty feet back. Mark a landing zone on the ground — a towel laid six to eight feet from the wall. A bucket of balls speeds this up.
The drill
Self-feed with a gentle bounce, then hit a drop that strikes the wall inside the window between the two lines and lands soft — the rebound should die near the towel, not race back at you. Both halves must be true for a rep to count: window and soft landing. Sets of ten; score each set. Seven of ten from fifteen feet earns a move back to twenty. Alternate forehand and backhand sets.
One thought to take on court
The apex of the arc belongs on your side — if the ball is still rising when it hits the wall, it was a gift, not a drop.
