watch antonson Return of serve in these
0:01
two clips and guess which one was
0:04
riskier really good smash from the
0:09
Chinese if you said the second clip you
0:12
got it but why would a lift be riskier
0:14
than a drive when a shot like a drive
0:16
inherently seems more dangerous to play
0:18
this is because when looking at how
0:19
risky a shot is we must look at how
0:22
difficult it is to control and how many
0:24
times you can replicate it ideally a
0:26
good quality lift should go past the
0:28
first service line and becomes a special
0:30
hard to replicate when your opponent
0:31
plays a difficult shot to return and it
0:33
becomes even more complicated in large
0:35
tournament Halls where the environment
0:37
becomes an influence another thing to
0:39
take into consideration is your
0:40
opponent's return of shot your opponent
0:42
can play everything on a lift so you
0:44
must prepare for everything however on a
0:47
drive your opponent will most likely
0:49
block or drive back and maybe lift it
0:50
over you depending on your shot quality
0:53
so maybe you're having a bad day and
0:55
can't get a good feeling of the shuttle
0:56
or you're in a large Hall with very
0:58
windy conditions it's best to try to
1:01
play more aggressively and play the
1:04
control wonderful rally such
