Forehand Smash
Strokes
Don Smith Asked 14 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.
