Center is not always the best for certain shots.

nonmnomnom. Counter punching is currently all I can do against good 4.0s, but MAN is it effective. Taking shots on the rise is a must have in everyone's repertoire.

Tried it today and interestingly enough the shots were spinnier than i intended. they weren't loopy they were heavy and penetrating. it helped that the ball jumped so high i had no choice but to take it on the rise but it was very successful. i had a field day on my OHBH. i was smacking anything shoulder height and above very short cross-court. anything below shoulder height was just smacked were i saw fit. Forehands were tremendous. I was hitting a shot today i never had in my repertoire: the IOFH mainly the short angle IOFH.
