1. 7-BALL DRILL - BUILD OFFENSE AND CONTROL THE POINTS
Looking to take control of points like today’s top pros? The 7 Ball Drill is a proven high-performance training pattern designed to develop offensive shot selection and tactical precision. In this video, elite coach Cesar Wicha Castaneda shares a drill used in the development of world-class players—and one that mirrors the aggressive baseline patterns seen in champions like Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.
This structured sequence teaches you how to systematically ...break down your opponent and create a high-percentage opportunity to finish the point. Here’s how it works:
Shot 1: Heavy forehand crosscourt – push your opponent deep and wide.
Shot 2: Inside-out forehand – move them off the court.
Shot 3: Backhand down the line – stretch them again to the opposite side.
Repeat the 3-shot sequence – increase pressure and control.
Shot 7: Look for the short ball – step in and put it away.
This drill sharpens your ability to construct points with purpose—just like Alcaraz’s explosive patterns and Djokovic’s surgical precision. Add the *7 Ball Drill* to your practice and elevate your offensive game to the elite level!
