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.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
