How to stop hitting drives into the net by Universal Rackets

In today’s video, Tyler from Universal Rackets focuses on a common issue players face: hitting returns or drives into the net.

He explains that this happens because players often hit on top of the ball instead of getting under it.

Tyler emphasizes the importance of hitting the ball forward and getting under the ball for successful returns and groundstroke drives.

He demonstrates the correct technique, which involves taking the paddle back, dropping it to point the tip downward and the butt cap upward, and then swinging forward.

This technique ensures the player gets under the ball to lift it over the net.

Tyler also introduces a drill where players practice dropping the paddle and swinging, emphasizing the importance of releasing grip pressure to allow the paddle to drop into the correct position naturally.

Key Points:

• Players often hit balls into the net by hit on top of the ball.

• The correct technique involves taking the paddle back, dropping it, and swinging forward.

• Dropping the paddle allows the tip to point downward, facilitating an upward swing.

• Releasing grip pressure is crucial for the paddle to drop into position naturally.

• Practicing this technique ensures players get under the ball to lift it over the net.
