I am left handed and having trouble pushing on forehand.  I get it too high, what angle do I have to have on my racket? Horizontal or slighty angled?

Hi Joseph,

You should have your bat tilted slightly back so that you are brushing under the ball.  This will generate a little backspin and also keep the ball lower.

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.
