Fake Push Movements
Strokes
yoyo Fu Asked 14 years ago
Hi, I have seen some people do fake push movements that always tricks me. It looks like they are pushing one way but it goes the other way. I want to know how to do it. A video on how to do this would be nice thanks.

Hi Yoyo,
To make a fake movement you mainly use your head and shoulders to fake the direction. By moving those parts in one direction and your bat in another it gives the opponent wrong information. The movements only need to be slight to givve good effect.
Make sure though that you are playing the stroke correctly first before trying to add these fake movements.

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.
