Hi Coach,

For some players Third Ball Attack maybe difficult due to slow reflexes.

So how to perfectly execute a Fifth Ball Attack as we get bit time to read the ball and can plan a reply.

Hi Tushar,

I think reading the play is the key.  This comes from practicing drills of 3rd and 5th ball often in training.

By doing these drills you start to get a feel for where the ball will come when you do a particular serve and then also where a player is likely to return the ball when you do a 3rd ball in a particular way to a particular position.
