One small detail that makes a big difference: head stability. At contact, many players lift or turn their head too early, which leads to mishits and inconsistent placement.
Instead, focus on keeping your head still and your eyes locked on the contact point through the shot. Think of “watching the ball hit the paddle,” especially on drops, dinks, and volleys where precision matters most.
A quiet head keeps your body aligned and your paddle face stable. Clean contact starts with what you see—and what you don’t move.
