Hitting the ball
Strokes
Wasiq Khawar Asked 12 years ago
Hello Alois and Jeff,
I'm really having a problem hitting the ball, especially with the forehand topspin. A lot of the time I swing, and I don't make contact with the ball. How do I fix this?!

Hi Wasiq,
One of the keys will be to watch the ball extra carefully. You need to track the ball during the rally. This will help you to make contact. Next think about slowing the stroke down. You can even start with a basic counterhit and each ball increase the spin slowly until you have a topspin. The game is just about increasing the things you can do slowly with good control.

Slow to Fast Progression
It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
