How to play deceptive shots effectively? Are there any tricks?

Hi Kaustubh,

The trick is actually to develop good enough control on the ball so that you can then make subtle variations that will be deceptive for your opponent but still be consistent enough to make sure you win matches.

Deception comes from making two strokes or serves look as similar as possible to your opponent.
