On the other hand, it is one of the most injury-prone sports because of the speed of the ball traveling inside the small confines of the playing court. Ninety-five percent of these injuries consist of being hit in the eyes by the ball. Interior bleeding in the eye socket, lacerations, bleeding eyelids, abrasions, swollen eyes these are some of the most common eye injuries.

It would be hard to mentor a mentee who is not really that interested into the sport. But as a good mentor, you could shift that view and make the mentee like and love the ballgame eventually.

Down the line means hitting the ball parallel to the side wall and making it come straight back between the side wall and you. A cross court hit means hitting the ball against the side wall farthest from where you are. The ball will fly between your opponent and the side wall. To be considered a good defensive shot, slam the ball fast enough as you can muster. The player that utilizes such technique aims to dish out the ball as low and fast as possible en route to striking either back corner. Then the ball must bounce twice before hitting either side wall or the back wall. Once the drive has become predictable the player may reach down his pocket and bring out several jam serves in his arsenal.
