Try volleying against the wall. Don't let the ball drop. Concentrate in hitting the center.

Ulam has a good idea.

Also try hitting with an old-style wood racket.

The wood is not so forgiving as a modern racket.

You will ABSOLUTELY know when you are hitting off center/out of the sweet-spot.

Also, get back to the basic of watching the ball. Don't just kind of watch it, consciously and intently watch it.

Good luck,

B

Watch the ball through impact. When i follow the ball... I can really deliver a load.
