Backhand topspin changing direction
Strokes
Roy J Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois/Jeff
In your video, you more than once say you stand facing the way you want your return to go. Is that not transmitting info to your oppo which i'd rather not do? How do you then disguise the direction of your return?

Hi Roy,
The direction can be changed in two ways. The first is the timing of the contact. If you contact it a little earlier then the ball will go cross court and if you hit the ball later it will go down the line.
The other way is to change the angle of your wrist slightly. You don't need a big change of angle to make a big change in direction.
