While turning, you position your racket to receive the ball at an angle of about 45\u00b0 \u2013 you are now facing South. Your free arm forms a natural extension, pointing upwards at an angle of about 135\u00b0.<\/li>\n<li>With the ball now on your racket, shift your weight to your right leg, so your left foot can turn outward on its heel. Now begin turning your body and start raising your \u201eracket arm\u201c, at the same time begin lowering your other arm.<\/li>\n<li>Your right foot circles to your left foot at about an 45\u00b0 angle. At the same time, your racket reaches shoulder level, at an angle of 90\u00b0, while your \u201cracket free arm\u201d lowers to shoulder level as well. Your \u201eracket arm\u201c is now pointing East, while your other arm is pointing West.<\/li>\n<li>Shifting your weight to your right leg once more, you continue the rotation, your left foot turning outwards. The \u201eracket arm\u201c keeps moving upwards, while the free arm keeps moving downwards. It\u2019s in this phase, when the ball leaves the racket.<\/li>\n<li>Shifting your weight to your left leg, your right foot circles to the position it started out when you received the ball. Your \u201eracket arm\u201c reaches its highest point at about 135\u00b0, while your other arm reaches ist lowest position at about 45\u00b0. At this point your racket points North and your free arm points South.<\/li>\n<li>To complete your rotation and to aid the accuracy of your play, your left foot pivots into the position it was in when you received the ball. Simultaneously, your racket arm lowers to shoulder level, pointing West, while your free arm raises to equivalent level, pointing East.<\/li>\n<li>In the final phase, your \u201cracket arm\u201c moves to an angle of about 45\u00b0 downwards and your free arm extends to an angle of about 135\u00b0 upwards \u2013 the exact position you started out when receiving the ball.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"width: 1020px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1454-2\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" poster=\"https:\/\/bailongball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/TBBA-Logo.png\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/bailongball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Diagonale_links_Full-HD.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bailongball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Diagonale_links_Full-HD.mp4\">https:\/\/bailongball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Diagonale_links_Full-HD.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>And there you are \u2013 ready to return a fast and low ball \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Xiaofei Sui<br \/>\nBailongball Instructor<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Mike Ritz<br \/>\nBailongball Trainer<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you just started playing Bailongball or do you feel your playing technique is not as smooth as you like?
