I’m hitting the ball out of the court – it’s going too far. My physical therapist Andy Choi tells me that I am hitting it too hard because I am using my arm instead of my trunk. If I use my trunk, my swing will be slower and more controlled. The trunk is used for power, the arm for control.

I’m also still dropping the racket head as I approach the ball. This flattens out the racket so that it is no longer in a closed position and hits the ball flatter instead of with topspin, another reason the ball is sailing.
