overhitting
Swinging too hard
Overhitting is hitting something too hard or too often.
In sports like tennis or golf, overhitting means swinging with excessive force, usually resulting in loss of control or the ball going out of bounds.
She kept overhitting her backhand into the net.
The term applies beyond athletics to any situation where someone applies more force than necessary, often with counterproductive results.
