hi guys, my biggest problem in my game is the fh counterhit, whenever i try to hit softly or go hard, my wrist moves alot, and the racket angle changes immensely, so its not a fluid stroke like u guys have shown, is there any ways to help alleviate this problem?
my bh counterhit is ok, more consistent than my fh, oh and what should be the NEUTRAL angle when preparing for a shot? [loop, topspin, hit etc]
thankyou
Hi Vinh,
This is a common problem.
The first thing is to focus completely on your wrist while you are hitting. Start with a small stroke and just bunt the ball into play keeping your wrist still. You can progress to slightly bigger strokes as you start to fell comfortable. Don't worry too much about where the ball is going initially. I know it is hard to ignore if you are missing a lot of shots, but it will be better in the long run.
While you are doing the strokes also remember the basics from the video; Starting position and finish position. If you can do these 2 things correctly you will not be flopping your wrist around too much.
You could even try using some bandaging to strap your wrist lightly while you are playing just to feel the position it should be in.
Remember, whenever you are tyring to change anything the key is total focus on that area, even at the expense of getting the ball on the table.
If you can get a partner who is consistent and can keep the ball coming back to you in the same spot that would help a lot.
Let us know if it works for you.
