When you receive an easy short ball in tennis, whether that's on a groundstroke, a volley or even a smash, you definitely want to hit it with power.

And yet, you make too many errors.

How can you minimize these mistakes?

The key lies in accelerating your racquet GRADUALLY.

Most players accelerate their racquet very suddenly and in the process become tight and muscle the ball as we like to say.

You need to learn to accelerate the racquet gradually as only then can you avoid tensing up and losing control of your shots.

This method applies to all strokes including the serve even though it's a stroke you would use on easy balls, but the principle of generating effortless power with control is the same.
