Brush contact practice

Strokes

Pasquale Mule Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff, i was wondering how can i practice a good brush contact in your paddle and rubber of course. I have tried my topspins, they are well but the problem is that i hit them good mostly when they are slow into my side but when the ball is going fast depending long on serves or blocks i cant have a good topspin spinning contact. What would you recommend for this? oh and my finish position is in my eyebrow has improved, Thanks!

Hi George,

I am glad that your stroke is improving.

WHen the ball comes to you faster you need to have more of a vertical stroke to get a brushing action. Because the ball is travelling fat it will sink into your rubber quickly so the vertical action will help you to get the brushing action.

Crossover Footwork

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.
