Middle ball position
Strokes
Nazeer Sayyed Sayyed Asked 5 years ago
Hi sir
In a rally I always set the position at middle of the ball such like when my opponent hit the ball I come at the middle of the ball to receive it and I fail to receive it because it comes so fast and my hand position is like forehand so how to improve it.
Thanks

Hi Nazeer,
Try to have your ready position more to the backhand side if you are getting ready for the forehand.
We often do this if we favour one side. It sounds like you might have a stronger forehand so you move a little to favour that side.
