 Hi,

When I play topspin, racket swings but does not touch the ball.This happens many times. I don't know what causes this and how can prevent it. Please help.

Thanks.

Hi Kaustubh,

Firstly think about watching the ball all the way.

Then think about making your stroke a little less vertical and more forward moving so that you are hitting into the ball.  This way the ball and the bat are travelling along the same path for a longer time and more likely to connect.

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​
