Hi Sachintha,

Having your weight down low allows you to transfer quickly into the next position for the 3rd ball.  If you are up high, then you have to take the time to get down low after you serve.

Thanks for your sentiments for PingSkills.  We love what we do.

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.
