The pros read three things first, though, where the opponents are standing, how high the ball is bouncing, and how much time they actually have. Here he goes for the smash out of the court, over the back glass. That shot ends the point outright when the bounce is high enough and you can angle it into a corner, because there is simply no way to play it back. Off a comfortable high ball, it is the highest-percentage finish there is. The other options all have their moment. Flat and into the body handcuffs an opponent who is close to you. Down the line punishes a partner who has drifted toward the middle. The real mistake is forcing the spectacular shot off a low or awkward ball and spraying it long or into the net. Simple rule: the higher and closer the sitter, the more you can gamble on the out. The lower it drops, the more you should just control it and place it. What would you have gone for here, the body, down the line, or out the back?
