Problem with wide pushed balls

Francisco Cespedes Grau Asked 14 years ago

Last days I'm having trouble with the 3rd ball, I think I have a solid topspin off push, if someone push me a ball in a easy spot where i dont need to move too much Im consistent, but some ppl have a neutral push where in the last moment they change the direction with the wrist, to deep and wide forehand or deep and wide backhand, then im very inconsistent because I feel I have not time and a lot of times I move before they hit cause i think I know where the ball is going to go... and then they change the direction, how could i solve this? I feel solving this problem I could finally attack all long balls, but with this tactic Im just unable to do it, I know you will tell me to do some drill practicing this, but i feel it's more about reflexes or i dont know.., and do you think I can do something out of the table to help to solve this?

Thank you in advance!
