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.

Thanks,

I'll keep that in mind next time I train!
