EA11HEAO
To plan your play a shot or
two ahead of what is going on
is to be two or three steps
ahead of your opponent. To be
two or three steps ahead of your
opponent is to leave him behind.
There Is a distinct method of
planning your plays ahead. The
following examples may prove
useful.
i. Your opponent serves-you
return the service cross-court
to opponents forehand ana
take your position at the center
of the baseline. Choose your
next shot Immediately. Disre-
gard altogether where he may
return the ball, for instance
your choice may be for this
next shot, your opponents back
hand corner. Determine again
that, regardless Of where he
places the ball you will repeat
the shot to bis back-hand. In
this manner you have estab-
lished a routine which may ul-
timately develop into a force
full maneuver. Realize at the
same time you have the added
advantage of changing your
plans if a better opportunity
presents itself. This habit of
play gives more precision to
your stroking. You are set to
do something definite.
2. Score 30-15. You serve
to opponents forehand. Imme-
diately after service. pick your
next shot to opponents fore.
hand corner and also decide
that the following shot will also
60 to the same place, for the
purpose of drawing him away
from his back-hand corner.
The idea is to move the oppon-
ent around and open a way
for your own winning point.
