How to generate power
Strokes
binod singh Asked 14 years ago
Hi,
Thanks for the previous answer, it's helping me to keep the ball low, still I need to improve more.
Nowadays I am able to play a forehand top spin drive as well as a backhand drive but the problem is it goes too slow and is easily picked off. Also my pushes are slow too.
So guide me how can I improve to make it faster.
Thanks,
Binod Singh

Hi Binod,
It is great you are making progress with your game. To hit a faster forehand you need to firstly make sure you don't compromise your stroke. By that I mean that your technique should remain the same, but you just start to move your bat faster.
