Digging spin vs good brushing spin
Strokes
Frank Lucas Asked 7 years ago
I have a bad habit of letting the ball dig into my forehands and then it pops out of the sponge spinny because of my follow through. It's safe, but I feel it's lowering my max ceiling on power / spin. Any tips on getting good brushing attacks?

Hi Frank,
Try to contact the ball slightly flatter to increase the speed. (I've updated this, see comments below).
Take a look at the tutorial on the Advanced Forehand Topspin. This will give you some ideas.
