It gives a feeling of control to be ready to strike the ball with plenty of time, instead of scrambling around. Besides, it makes opportunities for a greater variety of shots.

Other examples are:
- More return options, and less repetitive play.
- You have the choice of delaying the hit (deception).
- To return the ball quickly gives the opponent less time to get in position, and makes it difficult to attack.
- It is easier to attack when striking the ball at the top of the bounce.
- Shots are more accurate if struck while the body is balanced and steady.
- TIP: Don't over-run the ball - get to within striking distance, and wait - then HIT - this will also allow for better deception; also a good tip when trying to hit accurately.

It is not easy to all of a sudden decide to WAIT-then HIT. If you have not already tried this strategy give it a go. Yes, you will muck it up for a while, but this may just take you to another level in your game.
