Strokes

Don Smith Asked 13 years ago

I am losing matches because I can't finish the point when I get a hgh ball on my forehand. I am consistently hitting the ball long. What are the most probable causes?

Hitting it too soon?  Bat angle?

Thanks

Hi Don,

It could be a few things but try hitting the ball when it is a bit higher and start your bat up higher.  HAve you taken a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash?  If not take a look.  There may be something there that will help you.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
