Hi Deepa,

With the short pimples, you can hit the ball at the top of the bounce and hit it flat.  If there is backspin on the ball then open the angle of your racket up more.  If there is topspin you can have you bat vertical and hit through really flat on the ball.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
