Hi,
I have been thinking about the relationship between swing path and ball direction. as we all know, for FH we hit outside of the ball for cross-court, middle for down-the-line and inside for a inside-out. but in order to hit different sides of the ball, do we also need to change the swing path? or we just need to adjust the body alignment against the contact point and maintain the same swing path? I ask this question because sometimes when I try to hit a sharp angle cross court shot, very often the ball tends to go into the net and I feel I need to swing a bit steeper to lift the ball more than a shot with less sharp angle.
please let me know what you think.
