Problems with forehand and backhand counterhit
Strokes
Haris Ansari Asked 12 years ago
HI COACH!
While playing counter with my partner he always says that I generally topspin the ball instead of playing counterhit and i also have very poor accuracy.
HOW CAN I GET RID OF THESE PROBLEMS?

Hi Haris,
Try to just contact the ball a little flatter. You may also want to shorten the swing slightly to gain more control and accuracy. At the start of the stroke really think about the bat heading the direction you want the ball to go.
