One overlooked
"weapon" in tennis is the "puff ball".
I'm sure you've been a victim of this
shot. It's the shot that has no pace on
it and bounces almost straight up and
down. Many good players make tons of
errors trying to return this shot. Why?
The
ball bounces up high...out of your
strike zone.You
either hit it down into the net or
way long.
The straight
up and down bounce is hard to time.
It's only in your hitting zone for a
split second.
The
ball is so slow that you have a lot
of time to over think your
shot. And you are easily distracted
by your opponent's movement.
Few people
practice hitting this kind of shot.
Now that you know why
you may have problems with this shot, you can use it against
other players...especially players that like to hit the ball
hard. They tend to make a lot of mistakes anyway.
