Before You Try to Roll Over a Forehand That Keeps Going Long
Forcing the ball downward can simply add more errors into the net.
Start with this check
A late contact point, an open racquet face, too little spin margin, and an overly deep target can combine to send the ball long.
Try these steps in order
- Complete your preparation before the ball reaches the top of the bounce and preserve space for contact in front.
- Maintain generous net clearance and accelerate from low to high.
- Aim at a large area behind the service line rather than at the baseline, and record the result of 10 balls.
Bottom line
The safer way to control depth is to organize contact, spin, and target rather than press the ball downward.
