Hey all
I have encountered 2 opponents recently, one better than than me, one not, and both have given me trouble with one particular type of shot, a flat hit side swiping FH that goes to my BH corner.
What shot should I choose to return this ball properly. Should I be trying to take it early with as BH drive or is it better to be back from the table slightly and moving across to play as BH loop? Or something else?
They always execute this shot when I've played a poor shot due to being out of position or under pressure. It's not a shot they play in quicker rally situations.
I probably do need to spot it earlier and prepare for it that bit sooner but the sidespin,fade they have on it is taking it away from me in my BH corner and I've not really figured out a good counter for it yet.
Apart from positioning what is the % shot in this instance?
