Strokes
Do I really need to look at the bat when hitting the ball or its enough to just feel it? which is better?
Hi Byron,
It is really difficult to actually watch the ball all the way to your own bat. Make the attempt to track it as far as you can. Usually the last few centimetres you will do by memory and feel. As long as you are tracking the ball the best you can then you will become more consistent.
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.
