Hi Maverick,

The trick is to really focus on the path your bat is taking.  There is no compromise here.  Work really hard at getting the action correct.  Do it slowly and do it lots and lots of times.  I am talking about thousands here.  When you feel the stroje is completely correct you can start to speed up.

Initially focus more on the stroke rather than where the ball is going.

You could try using our <a href="http://www.pingskills.com/analysis.php>Video Analysis</a> section of our site.  Then we can take a really good look at your play and help you out.
