In this episode of 5 Minute Fix, Coach Dominic works with a real student to transform her forehand and backhand speedups off the bounce.
The biggest issues?
❌ Not getting low enough
❌ Standing up through contact
❌ Being too passive with acceleration
Dominic’s solution:
✅ Get low
✅ Stay low
✅ Rotate your body
✅ Accelerate through the ball
As the session progresses, Annie learns how to use her legs, hips, and rotation to create more aggressive and effective speedups.
If you've ever felt like you're just pushing the ball instead of attacking it, this lesson is for you.
