Situation 3: Pattern Shift to Instigate Desired Rally
Redirect the ball down the line to shift the rally dynamic, anticipating the opponent will return crosscourt and setting up your preferred diagonal exchange.
Key points

- Anticipate the opponent's natural crosscourt defensive reply
- Lock into your favored crosscourt pattern where your matchup advantage is highest
Common mistakes
Hitting down the line without recovering to cover the expected crosscourt reply.
