Okay on the segment, changing the direction of the ball. So what that means is I'm going
to throw kind of a straight ball down the line and I want him to hit a cross court off
of it. So it requires extra footwork and approaching the ball proper. So it's all the stuff that
we've talked about, you have to put into play on a shot like this because a lot of times
this is where opportunity strikes, is when somebody hits a ball up the line and it's
not that good then you can hit a ball cross court and you're going to put them in a deep
hole and win the point. So Ken's going to hit this back hand top spin, cross court off
my straight throw. Good shot Ken! More angle. Hit it cross court now, you got to get away
from the ball. That's it, that's a beautiful shot. So it's not the easiest thing in the
world, is to change the direction of the ball, but there's a lot of, a lot of profit in it.
But, there's also some risk, that's why you have to be very, you have to use good judgment
on when to do this. So, the idea is that off a straight ball, you want to go cross court.
And the next one we're going to cover is going straight off a cross court.
