Hi Abdullahi,

Try making sure your finger stays low on the back of your bat.  Also make sure you are watching the ball carefully so that the ball hits more in the middle of your racket.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
