Encroaching You evaluate your shot quality and if it is tight and deep you move in closer to the side wall for a quick balanced shot off a moderate step rather than having to reach too far from the T to volley a ball near the wall. The pupil in this video is concerned with getting hit where he is in no danger at all so there is a lot of work to do.
Facing the back wall gives natural prep with your body behind the ball and you unwind hitting with your body muscles rather than your arm, if you face the side wall you need to do a lot of wind up pre to store power or you will only be using your arm muscles.
Great video. By the way, could you elaborate on what you are working on in "encroaching"?

I wonder whereabouts in Australia you are based? A week's lessons would be good.
