I used to be a good player (6.0) and have been a professional coach for nearly 30 years, but I'm finally stumped with my own game.
As the ball is approaching me I manufacture the racket going back on the backswing,i.e.; I force it back a split second early which then of course throws all,the rhythm and timing off.
I've tried so many things to overcome and counter this but besides the odd occasion I have the yips every time I play...
What I need to do is switch my brain off and just rely on my sub conscious....
The best two things that have worked are.... 1) too focus on my footwork 2) and I'm not joking, have a couple of beers...
Any help would be gratefully received....
Thanks
