Why are you hitting the ball late?
The number 1 reason tha lower level adult tennis player hit the ball late is because of late preparation.
If you’re not prepared in time it’s impossible to start your swing in time.
Late preparation normally happens because players can’t read where the ball is going soon enough.
In intermediate adult players the main reason for late conact is lack of eye to hand coordination.
Either players can’tt read the flight of the ball accurately enough or they lack the coordination to adjust the speed of their swing.
Luckily we can fix all these issues using brain based training.
Your brain controls vision and coordination.
And your brain is “plastic” which means it changes in response to what you do.
If you spend all day on your phone or computer, the body and visual system negatively adapt, which makes high level tennis very tricky.
If you train your visual skills and your coordination, you can become more skillful!
