How Do You Practice During the Week?

[lordmanji]

just wondering what everyone does for practice. I practice about twice a week which consists of usually rallying groundstrokes and on the odd week I'll play a couple of sets. I used to exclusively play sets with a different set of practice partners but I didn't like doing that because the focus was too much on winning versus improving. I'm probably playing too much rallying right now and will prob go to a 1:1 practice/play sets during the week before a match.

Uh I don't

...which is why my game has been stagnant for awhile now. I play a couple matches and the rest of the days my 3 small kids take up my attention.

Lol yeah. I work like 12-15 hours a week, go to school etc. Hang out with friends, go on dates etc.

I play twice a week -- consider match settings the best time and place to work on my game and do so all the time.

I participate in a 4-some lesson for 1 1/2 on Wednesday; do Drills for an hour on Thursday and play sets for about an hour on Thursday, have a private lesson on Friday for an hour; and fit in some hitting with partners to work on different strokes for another 2 hours a week. Will play a league match on the weekend or play with friends.

I hit once a week with a guy about my level, depends on how he's playing that day. And once or twice with a 4.5 player to gain better match experience. I lift twice a week and try to get out by myself and hit a couple hundred serves.

Cheers,

I used to try to drill once a week, play twice. I tend to enjoy the drills--the feeling of grooving your strokes--more than match play. On the other hand, I don't feel like I've had tons of success translating my fluid drill strokes into match play. This year, I'm mostly playing matches.
