Hi Mayo,

You can hit the ball anywhere on the paddle.  The middle is OK for this shot. The more important thing is the angle of the paddle when the ball hits it.  You need to have the tip of your bat above your wrist to make the ball fade away or spin away.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
