i try to brush the ball during the topspin, but i either miss, hit the edge or it just has no speed. So how do i do a proper one?

Hi Dion,

You need to track the ball better.  Make sure you are making better contact by watching the ball.

By watching the ball you will hit the ball more often.  Then you can start to think about hitting the ball with more speed.

Then you can think about the contact to get more speed.  You can flatten the contact a little for more speed.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
