Straight-drive rally locked to the right wall — every ball deep into the back-right corner. Recover toward the T between shots; tightness is the score, not pace.

Coach hits cross-court, you answer straight — moving through the T on every ball. Set your feet before contact; full-court length under movement.

The classic three-shot cycle — boast from the back, cross lob from the front, drive it deep — with the roles rotating every ball. The defensive lob working inside a live pattern.

Trade straight lengths until the coach suddenly boasts — sprint, drop, then rebuild the length rally. Watch the coach's racket, not the wall — spotting the trigger early is the drill.

A realistic rally script — serve-depth drive, cross exchange, boast trigger, drop, lob reset, then an attacking drop to finish. Every phase of a real point in one sequence.

The point-ending sequence under fatigue — boast, sprint, drop; cross, recover, drive; twice through without rest. The quality of the last drop is the whole test.
