Hi, The key is to keep this stroke simple. The swing is on one plane. The start position is lower than the contact point, your contact is a brushing action. This is important to generate the topspin and lift the ball over the net. The follow through is in a straight path. Watch some video of the better players playing this stroke and see if that helps also.
