How To Play The Sweep Stroke

Lower the head. Whatever grip you’re accustomed to, to do this properly, you need to start your sweep with the brush-head low on the Forehand side. Swing forward and up. Your arm motion will bring the brush-head toward the ball and sweep up at the same time. Practice! The only way to add this stroke to your arsenal is through repetition. Keep trying no matter how awkward it seems at first. Before you know it, your ball will clear the street more often and stay in bounds more often.
