Hey. I know the long answer and the correct one is multi-ball with a willing partner or coach, but wondering if any of you guys have some helpful hints or mental ways to think about approaching this stroke and implementing it without hesitation. My forehand is my preferred wing either drives or loops close or mid distance. Pushes not so much but I am working on it. I am competent and confident in backhand topspin drives and flick type shots but not proficient in loops yet. These can be improved like anything else.
My real problem is belly button or center of body shots. I freeze and freeze often. More often than not I try to side step or lean way down to my left to hit a close to body forehand instead of just using backhand. It's right there. Small movement with arm and virtually no footwork required to execute this shot but more times than not I just can't get my brain to signal my body to do this.
Any helpful instruction? I am 54 and started playing this game late in life so I am probably at a disadvantage. That said I am very fit and athletic and am serious and good at several individual sports, so suggesting grueling drills won't faze me.
Thanks so much in advance.
