Middle of Recovery to Ready Position

The player is starting his return to his ready position.

Points to look for:

  • The player is starting to push to his left, since he expects his opponent to hit the next ball to his backhand side. This decision is based on where the ball has landed, where the player is currently positioned, and how his opponent is preparing to hit the ball.
