making a homemade tennis practice wall?

Question

my son wants to start playing tennis more and I really don't have any where at home he can just hit against a wall. I want to put together something he can use to practice hitting the ball. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

My first concern would be thickness. The thicker the wall the better the rebound, it's more solid. Thin hitting walls make a lot of noise. Putting the supports behind closer together should have the same effect.

Answer 2

Just use the tree closest to the driveway. It teaches accuracy because you have to hit it so squarely every time or you'll be chasing the ball a lot, not the mention it's free!
