Blind return
A reaction shot made when you cannot see where you are sending the ball, for example with your back to the net in a corner. It is a name for a moment, not a stroke coaches teach.
Wann du ihn spielst
When you are facing your own glass to dig a ball out of the corner. When a fast ball comes at you and there is only time to react.
So spielst du ihn
Trust a safe default target: high and to the middle of their court. Keep the racket face open so the ball goes up rather than into the net. Listen to your partner, who can see the court and call the gaps.
Typische Fehler
Going for an angle you cannot see. Hitting hard and flat with no idea of the net height. Staying in the corner afterwards instead of turning to watch.
