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.
