I am a 3.5 player who go to tennis court 4 days a week. (I also go to the gym and basketball court 2-3 times a week).
For the past few months, I have played a lot of practice matches with various 3.5 people (found through tennis BBS, clubs, tournament, etc). I gained a lot of match experience. But I fell it is not helping me with my techniques. For example, I very rare use drop shoot as I have no confidence of doing it in a real match.
I have a decent serve and groundstroke. I have not been taught volleys or overhead. I developed those two from watch video instructions (meaning not a lot of repetition during practice).
I am working on improve the racket head speed at the moment. After that, I plan to work on the volleys and drop shot.
My goal is to improve my game to 4.0 - 4.5 in about a year. To achieve the best result, what would you recommend for a good mix of private lessons and practice games every week (say 3 practice games + 1 private lesson or 2 private lessons +2 practice games ...)
I wonder what a typical training schedule is for tennis school kids. I have heard that they go for training with coaches in the morning and play matches in the afternoon, (so 50-50?).
