Missing the ball completely
Strokes
Justin Morgan Asked 13 years ago
Hi,
I have been playing for about 5 months now and have improved alot thanks to your instructional videos. I have this problem where occasionally I completely miss the ball altogether. Mostly this happens when I'm about to hit a topspin forehand. I'm aware sometimes I take my eyes off the ball. What can I do to address this?

HI Justin,
Watching the ball is really important. I think this alone will help you to get better contact with the ball. Also try having the face of your bat a little more open so that the ball is seeing more of the face of your racket as it approaches.
Focus on these two things and see if it helps.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
