When I know that it's going to be a ceiling
shot I try to cut the ball off and pinch it in the corners. If you don't get to the ball in time and the ball goes over you, you are in T-R-O-U-B-L-E. This sport belongs in the olympics. Can't wait to see the day.

It's a good strategy, but I got a question.
Looking back is impossible when the serve is so fast and strong that the opponent has already hit the returning shot. What's a good strategy in this case other than following the instinct based on experience?

Caution! It depends on how they hit the ceiling ball. Angled away? Top of ceiling? Front then top? Be careful when you look behind; you could get hit in face. Ouch!
