Screening
What are possible alternative if you find yourself momentarily caught on the
sidewall? Swain instructs us to move between the ball and the opponent and
re-center. He comments that this screening technique will not be considered
favorable for many players, but it can legally accomplish if it is done
early within the rally and your opponent has sufficient time to view the
ball.
Another screen is the screen on the
ceiling ball. It is popular for many players to scuttle along the back wall
and then re-center after hitting a ceiling ball. Swain recommends a quicker
route that also effectively screens the opponent. This legal screen takes a
direct and diagonal route to center court.
In my own experiences, I realized that
lefties have a legal screen when serving cross court to a righty. Using the
same premise, I use my backhand stroke and serve cross court to a righty
just like a left would with their forehand. Believe me, this service offers
variation and deception if added to your service arsenal.
