Hitting with fingers

Greetings Team,

After last training I wonder what can be the cause that I KEEP hitting the ball with fingers, fingers and FINGERS? 

During last training matches I have chopped at least 60 balls (during 9 sets!!!) with index finger thumb or LITTLE FINGER.  I have tried to shift myself more to sides keep the fingers out of the rubber-to no avail. I just kept hitting with handle.

Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,

Often it is a matter of tracking the ball well.  I find that when concentration is low it is easier to misread where the ball is.
