Wall Fast Hands
Why this drill
The wall returns your volley in a fraction of a second — reflex volume no drilling partner can match. This is the single fastest way to build the hand speed that kitchen firefights demand.
Setup
Wall with the 34-inch line. Start about six feet back, paddle up in a ready position at chest height.
The drill
Volley continuously against the wall with no bounce: twenty forehand volleys, twenty backhand volleys, then thirty strict alternations. Keep the pace at the edge of your control — the rally should feel one notch too fast, and every ball stays above the line. That full block is one round; do three rounds, resting a minute between. Log your longest alternation streak.
One thought to take on court
No backswing — block the ball out in front of your chest and reset the paddle to center before the rebound arrives.
