Power point on bat
Strokes
james chamb Asked 7 years ago
Hello Jeff and Alois, Please help. When striking the ball I have noticed that the main ball placement on my bat is near or just barely above the center. It is about the same for both backhand and forehand.
I have tried repeatedly, mentally picturing and trying my best to get the striking point into the upper quadrant of the leading part of my bat.
Is there a secret drill that you know of that can help?

Hi James,
You can try to cover the rest of your rubber with a piece of paper which will give you good feedback as to where the ball is hitting on your bat. Cut a piece of paper in the shape of the bat and then cut out the area you want the ball to land. You can stick it to the rubber with some double sided tape or Blu-tack.
Other than that, watching the ball and getting the feedback will help you to adjust subtly the positioning of your contact.
