Tracking the ball in doubles match
Strokes
Abhinav Upadhyay Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois,
In doubles matches, when my partner is serving, I usually look at the receivers racquet rather than looking at the ball as my partner serves it. I am not quite sure if this is the right thing to do, should I be watching the ball right from the start instead?
I treat this situation like fielding at the short leg or slip position in cricket, you don't look at the bowler delivering the ball, rather you watch the batsman's bat and react as he plays the shot. Does this analogy apply to table tennis as well?

Hi Abhinav,
I have tried both and I think watching the ball while your partner is serving actually works well.
