Forehand attack straight down the line
Strokes
Heang Quach Asked 14 years ago
Hello coach! One of my biggest difficulties is that every time there is a chance to attack, I mostly miss the ball. As I wish to improve, I would like to know how to make a forehand attack straight down the line. Thanks in advance!

Hi Heang,
If you are missing the ball it will be one of two things. One is that you are not watching the ball well. the other is that you have your racket too flat so that you are not coming at the ball with enough of the bat facing forward.
To hit the ball down the line just alter the angle of your racket so that at the point of contact the racket is facing straight. This doesn't take much of a change of angle to make it go down the line.
