So important to remember this.

💥 MARK’S QUICK TIPS 💥
PLACEMENT BEATS POWER

Work on your stroke, work on hitting the ball while balanced , connecting with the ball within your circle of reach, (not over-reaching for a ball). If you lean too far into the kitchen (or on court when not moving your feet) all your weight is on your toes, or you’ll be off balance, and it’s harder to hit a controlled stroke.

Allow the ball to come to you, don’t rush your stroke and practice aiming the ball at specific points on the court. Swing with a low to high motion brushing the back of the ball creating topspin. Instead of just trying to get the ball over the net, think about placing the ball at a foot or in a certain space. This will help to cut out unforced errors and take your game to a higher level.
