It is time to take a closer look at all of your options to get an advantage over opponents who can strike the ball really hard.
The secret formula is really simple: when you’re near the net make sure you’re in the best position

How to face a heavy ball
It’s likely that if you let the ball fly by you at chest or shoulder height, you will miss out on the opportunity to return the ball.
It will bounce and kick forward off the backglass if your opponent uses enough topspin to bring that difficult shot down before it strikes it. This once again makes it easy for you to get back in the game.
