Hey! Yes you are right and a lot of players have the problem that they can brush the ball well at a slower speed but when they try to speed up then the shots get flatter and have less spin. I think being relaxed and having a fairly loose grip helps with this and can avoid the shots getting to flat.
Also timing is definitely important as you mentioned and trying to focus on hitting the ball at the top of the bounce. Playing fast and with spin definitely takes time and needs a lot of practice to develop the touch but it’s worth it. I would say try to practice playing at different speeds and distances can help. Definitely watch out 30, 60, 90 drill on the Academy if you haven’t already and try that.
With the equipment yes I think for me and Tom and other quite experienced players we can play the safe shots with whatever equipment, it just takes a quick adjustment. But again that comes down to a lot of experience and practice over the years. But keep going with this and try the things I said here and let us know how you are getting on!
