Hitting the ball with your fingers
Strokes
Kristóf Liszkai Asked 9 years ago
Hi,
I have a problem with hitting the ball with my fingers frequently. Also, when I hit the ball with my racket, if I hit it correctly, I almost allways hit it close to my fingers. Can you give me a solution to fix it? Lots of other people in my family have got the same problem.

Hi Kristof,
The main thing is to watch the ball closely and also feel where each ball is hitting on your racket. As you become more aware of it you will be able to adjust the hitting position more easily.

One trick I saw used to force yourself to hit the ball with the top part of your raquet during serves (this part having the maximum speed is also the one that generates the maximum spin) is to cover the lower half of your rubber with a piece of cellophane (food wrap). Maybe that could help you. When you play, if you hit the ball with that part of your bat, you will get zero friction and you'll notice it immediately from the trajectory of the ball. This will of course not solve your problem right away, but it will force you to use the upper half just to be able to shoot the ball back normally. Start slowly, or else it could probably be quite frustrating !
