How important is it to see the ball hit your bat while serving and while defending?

Hi James,

The more you watch the ball the better.  It is difficult to watch the ball all the way to the bat sometimes, but if your aim is to focus on the ball all the way, you will find it will help your overall game.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
