thumbs up for peter chao

[whitleykara]

Al3zmi- it all depends on where your follow through is. If you want it to go straight then you need to hit the ball a little harder and follow through all the way.

@al3zmi try to watch yourself hit the ball and instead of getting under the ball and hitting it high but in like a scrub, try to get the racket perpendicular or over the ball to increase the speed and topspin of the ball

machismo haha

hello everyone i just started playing teenis for the first time yesterday and i want to know how i can hit the ball and make it go straight....it seems if i hit it easy it still go fast and get out :( any tip can do

sorry for my english just want any advice, thank you

@andymontan That depends on your stroke its probably because you have to put more topspin on your strokes opposed to just flat hitting it that way you can hit hard and control it.

when you watch someone who is good, you know it right away. It does need hours.

Thats what happened to me with this guy Lincoln. I was looking for some coaching tips for serving to begin with and as soon as I watched his video I knew I had found my online coach, atleast to take me to the next level in the positive direction. Thanks Lincoln, good work.
