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.
