Tips & Warnings

make sure when you strike the ball the racket is almost parallel to the net. if the racket is facing downwards the ball will hit the net and if it is facing upwards the ball might go out of the court.
when you follow through make sure you dont hit the racket to the back of your head. I know this sounds silly but sometimes it happens.
