paul chitic Asked 11 years ago
Hi !!
When i try to make a forehand topspin i am hitting with the edge of the paddle or miss the hit .. i saw your forehand topspin clip and i try to hit good but the same result .. :(
i thought that the paddle angle is to low and i opened up but the shot goes out ..
any advice ?
PS. Sorry for my english (i am from romania)

Hi Paul,
Try to ensure the contact with the ball first. Slow this down first to get the feeling of the contact. Rotate forward more so that the bat is coming at the ball with a flatter angle then your lift will happen as you swing through.
If the ball is going out then use more topspin on contact by brushing the ball but let the ball sink into the bat rather than trying to brush the top of the ball so much.
