From watching world events, it seems like pro players are able to move to the location of their opponent's short serve and prepare their backhand flick before the service actually hits their table. It sometimes appears ridiculous especially when they're able to cover the short forehand side as well.
My question is - how are pro players able to 'predict' where the opponent is able to serve and cover the entire table with their backhand? Or are they just moving to the ball after seeing it land? And how are they able to avoid getting fooled by a long serve?
