Hi,
I’m currently not playing in the club so I have not access to a coach (I will next month ) and currently playing 2/3 times a week with friends of similar level as mine.
Apologizes if this topic has been already discussed.
I’m having problems with my strokes, especially FH, and I currently have no access to club and coaching, I’m just playing with friends 2/3 times a week.
The problem I want to ask you an advice for is most recurrent: I consistently hit the racket very near the top edge. I’m really consistent, but at hitting the wrong place.Not only I miss the control I get from hitting the racket in the sweetspot, but sometimes I manage to hit the edge of the racket and occasionally miss the ball. Looks like whatever I’m doing now, my default impact point is 1cm away from the top edge of the plate and I can tell clearly from the feedback vibrations and the wear in the rubber.Beside the ‘get coaching’- not an option for a few weeks, and work on your footwork, which I’m focusing on, I feel I’m just doing something wrong and I was wondering if there is a mental note I can use to fix this issue.
I need to provide a video I know, but maybe this is a common problem and there’s a few specific things I could try?
For the last few months I’ve been using a blade that is 5mm shorter than my allround blades I started with, so it makes this issue even worse..
Thanks for your time
Andre
