Placing the tounge

Post by norway »

What is the correct place for the tounge when playing. I tend to press it against my upperteeth. Is that wrong?

Generally, the tongue should touch just slightly higher about where the gum line ends and the teeth emerge. So, yes it touches the upper teeth but also the gum area.
