Lendl Simmons posture after a back-foot drive
Back-foot drive as the name suggests is played off the back foot and it is usually played between mid-off and cover.To play a perfect back-foot drive you must need a good balance and quick feet movement.
When you play the shot your head must be over the ball, which will help you to drive the ball along the ground.
When you are playing the shot the top hand should control the stroke with the bottom hand punching through the ball to provide enough momentum.
Ensure that the follow through is on the line of the shot, completing the shot in a high position.
