English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
OBS

Somewhat vague expression in English which suggests that a player would do best to hit the ball right after the bounce as long as the ball has not started its downward decent. In so doing, the player avoids having to deal with odd spins created by the racquet of an opponent. Related phraseology: to hit on the rise.
