Questions from golfers: how to learn to predict in advance where ball will fall?
1. Estimating direction of falling point in a hopeless situation
(1) Experienced Judgment
Whether it's a serve or a stalemate, which route opponent is playing, long or short, left or right, this judgment is really a simple judgment based on experience.
During game, there is not much time to think about directionality. Professional athletes play a lot and practice a lot. Before hitting ball in path of an opponent's backswing, evaluation of main line is completed. Basically, they judge whether he is left or right. The length may not be as accurate because ball has not been touched, but at least line can be judged before opponent touches ball. This is an empirical judgment.
(2) Position evaluation
There are some more technical judgments. If your opponent is sideways when receiving serve, he usually pulls diagonal line, then you can say that these kind of judgments make up 80% of your diagonal line.
(3) Evaluation of swing movement
Which direction swing will take, you can tell which line opponent is going to hit when he dribbles.
1. Ball Hit Evaluation
If opponent is in a position on right and wants to slash (hit their own position on right), then opponent's pull on right is not possible to pull ball to side to right and back too much, and body will still be larger in direction of diagonal line.
2. Direct ball score
If opponent wants to draw a straight line, you will see opponent's upper body facing straight line. The same is true for dribble action. You can see that opponent is likely to dribble by body and prepare to go straight. In process of stalemate, it is necessary to look at direction of leading racket and body.
2. Estimating direction of the cusp
By rocking, you can predict your landing point in advance.
1. Ball Hit Evaluation
Generally, when serving sideways with a right hand, when intercepting a straight line, range of motion of entire swing will not turn sideways and backwards too much.
2. Direct ball score
When sent in a straight line, enemy's range will usually be reduced. The swing of racket to right and back will decrease, and in process of turning you will find that swing of opponent's rotation increases, and swing of body turn is not enough to make it difficult to send him to a straight line.
The direction of body will also change. If you want to hit a straight ball, you won't be sideways. If you are standing sideways, you will not be standing sideways to outside of the table. straight line.
If opponent wants to steal a straight serve, he will stand a little closer to inside of table, that is, a little to right. Stand a little further into forehand so that ball can at least travel in a straight line. If you're standing outside table, you won't be able to serve in a straight line.
Therefore, these details are a kind of learning experience and are easy to judge when dealing with many situations.
