RotationsRotations ~ Rotate A ShapeRotations In a doubles game, the players have to take turns hitting the ball with their partner. After each shot, a player has to move out so that the partner can get into the best position for the next shot. It is very important that both players establish an effective rotation pattern and alternative rotation patterns. 1. Circular Rotations (Figure 16.1) Each player moves in a circular way behind the partner after each shot and should be ready to move up and hit. Both players move the same way and two left-handed or right-handed aggressive players can use this movement. 125 16.1 circular rotations 2. Up and Down Rotations (Figure 16.2) Each player moves toward table in a diagonal way to return a shot then back up the same way. One left-handed and one right-handed pair use this rotation. 16.2 up and down rotations 3. T-Rotations (Figure 16.3) The front person moves sideways and the back person moves back and forth. Mostly pairs of one fast style player (front) and one loop style player (back), or one close-table offensive player (front) and one slice style player (back) use this rotation. 16.3 “T” rotations 4. Triangle Rotations (Figure 16.4) Each player using this rotation pattern moves to sides to return shot, then step back to the middle for the next shot in a triangle way. It is used often to return angles shots to sides and it is similar to the circular rotation. 126 16.4 triangle rotations Teamwork and Strategies 1. Establish a good rotation and movement patterns. 2.
