Hi Sean,

It is like any other stroke and rubber, it will take time to gain the control.  You need to do the stroke as many times as possible.  It s probably more relevant with the push or chop because it is all about getting the angle of your bat correct.

If you have just moved from inverted rubber, it will be an adjustment period before it feels natural.
