How to play against player who play short balls?
Alois Rosario Answered 9 years ago
Hi Marian,
You have three options. You can push short push long or flick.
They are all viable options it is a matter of deciding when to do each of these.
Take a look at our tutorials on The Push in Detail and the Forehand Flick for some more help on these.
For our Premium members there is also a good tutorial on Receiving Options that will help.
If you want to access this and many more Premium tutorials you can go to the My info at the top right of the site and see the options there.

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.
