The Difference of Backhand Drive Ability Using Internal Drive Method and Drive Crosscourt Method for Tennis Players

Abstract

This study challenges the differences in Backhand Driveability using the Inside Drive and Crosscourt Drive Method for Tennis Players in the Age Group of 12-15 Years. The research method used was a pretest and posttest group design. The results of this research are that the exercise using the drive inside method influences increasing the ability of backhand drive with T score greater than T-table 7.24> 2.78. Training using the drive crosscourt method influences increasing the ability of backhand drive with T-score greater than T-table 4.80> 2.78. There was a difference in effect between the drive inside method and the drive crosscourt. The drive inside method was better in increasing the backhand drive capability compared to drive crosscourt training, with the mean drive inside ratio greater than the drive crosscourt was 22.83 > 21.08.
