How to anticipate the kind of shot
Strokes
FELIPE PIMENTA Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois!
I have a problem that is bothering me. Sometimes is difficult for me to know what ball my partner is hitting. I don't know if it is a topspin or a backspin, which make my balls go into the net or out of the table. What is the best way to anticipate what spin is coming towards me so I can make a counterspin? Do i need to focus on the way he is hitting the ball?
Thanks for your time. This website is been really helpful!
