Hi,

I'm having trouble attacking a fast push, and the ball usually goes flying off the side of my racquet out of play, because of this, I'm having a lot of trouble attacking those longer serves and pushes. Is there any way I can get over this, and why is this happening?

Thanks!

Hi Ethan,

It sounds like you are a little late in your swing.  Try to shorten the swing and make it more vertical to lift the ball over the net.  This will get you to the ball a little earlier and hopefully eliminate the top edges.

Don’t try to do too much with it at first, just focus on the lifting.
