Head position returning heavy backspin ball
Strokes
Anup Bodade Asked 10 years ago
my head tilt towards the side spin while returning, this make me loose my sense of orientation if the rally continues.
is there any correlation?
your videos regarding push don't mention about head position!!

Hi Anup,
It is good to keep your head still. This helps with your ability to watch the ball carefully and also read the direction of the ball. It also helps with your orientation as you mentioned.

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.

I often turn my head to the right while making a forehand push,because I have problem with seeing how high the ball is.
If I keep my head still,I often swing my bat above the ball or too far under,thus missing it.
Is it a flaw?
If yes,how to correct it?
You need to just watch the ball more DK.
