Using Disguise in the mid-court. When preparing for a shorter ball in the mid-court you have more options than just than you might realize. With a short ball you can hit an approach shot deep and come in, you can hit a drop shot, or you hit an angle shot to the service line side-T area. What makes each of the shots more effective is the disguise you use to keep your opponent’s guessing. A short backswing is a must to start with and then whether you choose an approach and drive the ball, turn your racket under quickly to hit the drop shot or hit a short chip to the service line angle you will have a more effective result by disguise. Often in tennis we have many options of what to hit and keeping your decision from showing until the last second will help you win more points. The short backswing is the key to your success on all your shots. Good luck to you with your new found options with disguise.
