Hitting the ball with bat rim or with finger
Strokes
armand bistreanu Asked 10 years ago
Can u give me some particular reasons why I often - and I mean very often - hit the ball with the bat rim or with my fingers (the thumb or the finger from the other side of bat)?? That annoys me so much....
Excuse my English, is not my native language.

Hi Armand,
This sometimes happens if you are not watching the ball carefully. The ball often moves slightly in the air with spin so tracking it all the way is important.
If it is always hitting the top edge of the bat it could be because you have the bat turned too far forward.

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.
