Are you following through on your swings? I know that this sounds like obvious advice but when I remind myself to actually follow through instead of flicking my wrist, I tend to be more accurate.

I think I am following through.  However, I just can't seem to get the ball where I want to although that seems to be improving a bit.  The shot I am struggling with is when I am at one end of the court and want to hit the ball straight.  The ball always seems to go diagonal right back to where my opponent is. 

Do you know how to put spin on the ball?  It's very similar to real tennis in that way. 

A downward swing does a slice and an upward swing puts top spin on the ball.  It is a little tricky to figure out exactly how to do it.

Also where you are in your swing when you make contact with the ball is a factor.

Never played tennis in my life.  Maybe that's why I am struggling.
