Returning fast balls

Strokes

Hey,

I have a problem with returning fast attacks. 

I don't really have a problem returning if the opponents attacks to where I expect or prepare to return.

But sometimes I just can't get to those unexpected attacks.

Should I just watch the ball closely and react, or is it possible to 'predict' or anticipate where the ball will go?

Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

The key is definitely watching the ball closely.  If you try to predict where they are hitting you will start making some bad decisions.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
