Have been working on this and getting success now.
It strikes me that ‘trying’ to get around the side of the ball isn’t the best approach, it seems that relaxing the wrist and kind of letting the racquet tip fall to get around the ball is more effective. Actually, I’ve found that has improved my forehand hook also.
Guess that really is in line with that ‘softer’ shot you speak off – it’s all more relaxed.
