Deception: Page 2

Serving down the T in the ad court, the racket head approaches the contact at a angle approaching parallel to the baseline. The racket head then
moves slightly forward and out through the target line. The pronation is an after effect of the angle of approach to the ball.

Serving wide in the ad court, the racket approaches the ball more from the left and more underneath. The sweet spot makes contact on the surface of the
ball at a point slightly further to the left as well, compared to the serve down the T. The pronation after effect
is slightly increased.
