Hi Huy,

This is completely normal and almost expected if you play a lot.  You can try holding your bat a little lighter which may relieve the pressure on that area.  I find that part of my hand has just toughened over the years.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
