The cross-court drill series is meant to be performed going across the width of the court. You should perform the move approximately halfway across the court. You should focus on changing speeds before, after, and as you do the move. Be sure to completely control the ball and to balance the moves so you work equally (or more) on your weak hand than on your strong hand. – see the moves section of this site for more detailed instructions on to do each move.
