Receiving heavy cuts
Strokes
Shravan Kruthick Asked 11 years ago
Hi coach,
In my club, there is a boy who always produces heavy cut. I know to receive the cut by playing it back softly, but when I play like that my opponent hits the ball very hard and I cannot block it. Please suggest me a method to receive his cuts effectively as well as make him play only push for the whole point.
Thank You

Hi Shravan,
Try to keep the ball short on his side of the table. This requires some touch and feel for the ball. Take the ball early on your side and use soft and relaxed hands to get the ball back.
This is something that requires a lot of training to be able to do effectively.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
