Ball tracking
Strokes
Thomas David Asked 11 years ago
Hi alios
I have a bad habit of only tracking the ball halfway, meaning that when I am hitting the ball I start looking at where I want to place it rather than watching the ball right to my bat. I have watched your videos and tried to correct myself and this only lasts for a few rallies and then I go back to my bad habit causing me to miss the ball completely.
Any suggestions on how to beat this vicious cycle??

Hi Thomas,
This is something that you can keep practicing and getting better at this skill. In training spend some definite periods where your only focus is to watch the ball. The start of the session is a good time when you are doing your forehand and backhand warm ups.
It is such a crucial part of developing skills.
It will get better.

When your opponent plays a short ball to your forehand, you can play an attacking stroke by using the flick. This stroke is also known as the flip.

I have the same habit, although it's not a bad habit for me. In fact, it helps me get the ball where I want it to go.
