Racket Angles
Joey Cochran
3/28/2007

If you watch the professionals play, they always seem to know exactly where the ball is going. This seems impossible at first thought, but there are ways to learn how to do this. Learn to watch your opponent’s racket. You should try and always know where your opponent is going to hit the ball. It’s a hard skill to learn that few can do, but if you can know exactly where the ball is going to go before it comes, then you will be able to set yourself up for each shot. Look at the angle of your opponent’s racket to see where he is going to hit his shot. Also be aware of the angles. If you hit a wide shot, you should feel fairly confident that your opponent is going to re-angle you cross court. It is very hard to change the direction of the ball during the point.
