Hi Alois and Jeff, 

Thanks to your advice my ability to track the ball has improved. but when my opponents loop, i know where the ball comes and with how much spin, but my fh-bh crossover is very weak. by the time i turn my rubber over , (well,this is the embarrassing part) the ball makes a double touch kind of contact on my racket, which becomes a foul. how can i overcome this??

Thanks

Hi Shripathi,

Firstly the crossover is an important thing to work on.

In training get someone to block a lot of balls into this area or you can get them to feed multi-ball into the crossover area.  If you get them to do it quite fast then when it comes to a game you will start to react a bit faster.

It is important to be able to track the ball which you are working on.  Keep working on it.  It is something that you can keep improving.

As a side thought, if you hit the ball twice unintentionally, it is still a good hit.  This rule was changed this year.
