Body Alignment
Strokes
Tim Challener Asked 7 years ago
When preparing to receive and incoming ball should your body point to the incoming ball or intended direction to hit the ball?

Hi Tim,
The body will face towards the ball all the time so as it comes in and also as it goes away. This is a general direction.

So that means that when my opponent sends the ball (righthander-righthander) from his wide forehand to my backhand and I want to send it to his backhand corner,I must turn during the stroke?
You will do that naturally as the ball is travelling.
