How to "Wrong-Foot" your Opponent
by: Dave Winship @ On
The Line
The idea is to make your opponent think you're going to
hit the ball to a particular side of his court and then when he's moving
there, you play it back to the side of the court he just left! The element
of surprise is crucial, so don't overdo it!
Ironically, it's a move that's often more successful against
fast players than slow ones. A fast-moving, fast-thinking player who is
looking to anticipate your next shot is actually quite vulnerable to this
tactic.
Against a slower player, it's usually better to hit into
the open spaces.
