Crossover Point
Strokes
Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 14 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
Thanks to your advice my ability to track the ball has improved. but when my opponents loop, i know where the ball comes and with how much spin, but my fh-bh crossover is very weak. by the time i turn my rubber over , (well,this is the embarrassing part) the ball makes a double touch kind of contact on my racket, which becomes a foul. how can i overcome this??
Thanks

Hi Shripathi,
Firstly the crossover is an important thing to work on.
In training get someone to block a lot of balls into this area or you can get them to feed multi-ball into the crossover area. If you get them to do it quite fast then when it comes to a game you will start to react a bit faster.
It is important to be able to track the ball which you are working on. Keep working on it. It is something that you can keep improving.
As a side thought, if you hit the ball twice unintentionally, it is still a good hit. This rule was changed this year.
