• Hit the ball in front of you, not after, not next to you. (Move your body so that the ball is always in front of you when hitting it!)
• Practice flat/normal service. Bounce the ball and let it drop / raise to the height of your heap, then hit it.

• You need to change the way you swing the racket! So far you did a lot of slicing; while that’s not wrong per se, it is also not the most natural way of swinging the racket! Try not slicing for now, then slicing becomes even better later! Swing like swinging a cradle for a baby! Try to feel it that way!
