Why does the ball bounce when I slap harder ?
Hi, When I add power to my slap hit the ball tends to be hard but quite bouncy. Any ideas on what could be causing this as it stops me using it as a pass.
If I "stun" the ball (i.e. use an abbreviated follow through) the ball tends to stay flat but obviously loses a lot of power. Also, if I deliberately choose a contact point much higher up the stick that also seems to keep it flatter but power is also lost here too.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Mark This is a common problem which quite a lot of players find. Make sure that your knees are bent and that your weight is coming forward rather than laying back - a slight change of body positioning will ensure that you do not undercut and lift the ball.
Hi Mark just sure that you are banded properly and your both hands relaxed not stiff just transfar you weight smothly with flat stick with normal contact point. cheers
