Sweet Spot

Karlo Perhat Asked 13 years ago

For the forehand and backhand drive, loops, and smashes should i always use the tip of racket. or should i use the part closer to my finger, or the middle of my racket?

Hi Karlo,

You should aim for the middle of the racket in most cases.  You could get the contact a little closer to the end of the racket  as long as it isn't too close to the end, as most bats have an area around the middle that feels best or the 'Sweet Spot'.

I would definitely not be tending to hit the ball closer to the handle though.
