I have this issue big time, I can drop the racquet on edge like a pro without the ball but once that little yellow ball is tossed the racquet face opens up.
You say go slow with the drop to feel it without the ball but once we toss the ball we need to speed up in order to make contact and that’s where it gets messy.
I will follow this protocol but I suspect it will be a long battle.
