Answer for Brushing the ball

Hi Aisikowi,

Yes this happens with quite a few players ,but usually people don’t realise why they are making these mistakes so its great that you understand how important brushing the ball is.

To get better at brushing the ball, try to experiment first with your bat angle to make sure your bat isn’t too open which will cause a flat and through the ball contact. You can even exagerate in the beginning and close the bat angle right down.

Also where on the bat you contact is important, try to imagine hitting the very front of the bat as the ball comes in for a topspin, this will allow for more brush across the rubber.

Lastly to improve brush and avoid hitting through the ball, it’s very key to stay relaxed with your arm so you can accelerate quickly but also hit the ball softly with brush. So focus on a soft but fast contact and keeping relxed with your arm and also the grip must be not too tight as well, give those tips a try and im sure you’ll start generating more brush!
