I am left handed and having trouble pushing on forehand.  I get it too high, what angle do I have to have on my racket? Horizontal or slighty angled?

Hi Joseph,

You should have your bat tilted slightly back so that you are brushing under the ball.  This will generate a little backspin and also keep the ball lower.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
