The first thing our students need to do in order to learn to rally is to be able to control the racket face. They need to know that it is the angle of the racket face that directs the ball. To help the student learn to control the racket face and get a picture in their mind we use a progression. The progression that we use is to have the student hold the racket at the throat of the racket (we call this the BIG HAND). The student will drop the ball and bump the ball up on the bounce. They need to touch it so soft they can catch it. You can use this technique to help show them because their racket handle should point at their belly button and not to the sky.
