More than one teaching pro has told me that for beginner to intermediate players – shot depth is more important than power. I place far more of a premium on placing the ball than striking it with pace. Employing topspin and slice are two key elements that help control placement and depth. If you are losing the ability to place shots accurately when adding power then you need to think about timing and position first. When a player swings faster he or she will typically meet the ball earlier than normal – provided that you had time to set up for a shot. When I was learning to drive my one handed backhand with power I had to make a mental effort to actually wait for a fraction of a second before moving from my backswing into forward motion towards the ball with my racket. Over time I figured out that the timing of my swing, the position of my body (proper footwork) and the pace of my swing were the most important 3 factors in determining the placement, depth and power of my groundstrokes. Good luck!
When you’re playing an opponenet, one thing that helps is to imagine that you’re simply practicing.
Practise getting an excellent technique first – power and shot placement come from technique and lots of practise.
