Missing the ball completely

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.
