Receiving position

Strokes

Clement Clement Asked 6 years ago

Why does players tend to bend down so much when their opponent is serving?

Is it to examine the serve and the type of spin?

Alois Rosario Answered 6 years ago

Hi Clement,

It is more to do why being able to move quickly when their opponent serves and also to be able to generate power on their return if the serve comes long.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
