Blinking against a smash
Strokes
Phillip Simmons Asked 11 years ago
My hitting partner and I were discussing that we think we blink when our opponent hits a hard smash or drive. This causes us to lose the tracking of the ball at a critical time. What is your experience with this? Do most players do this? Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks, Phil

Hi Phil,
I think it is important to not blink during the rally. The better players will keep their eyes open throughout the rally.
Practice focusing on the ball through a rally when you are training and you will find this helps greatly with your game play and your reactions.
