One of the rising star player in terms of shots anticipation, lightning quick footwork and hard-hitting smashes - Mithun Manjunath, current India national champion 2023 (Beating Srikanth Kidambi in semis and another youngest rising star Priyanshu Rajawat) See how he easily read Chou Tien Chen's every move and trickshots like nothing with crazy fast footwork, demolish him in the 2nd set and nearly beat him in the final game in this thrilling 3-setter at the recent Taiwan Open 2023. With more international match experience, he should be able to beat the world's best players soon. Fun-fact: He seems to be using use a heavy (3U) Arcsaber 11 (not Pro) but wields it like a feather-weight racket with incredible amount of accuracy and control.

I wouldn't rate 3U Arc 11 as heavy weight... Now 3U VT Z Force 1 that is heavy weight Sent from my SM-S918W using Tapatalk
If they are both 3U, then both models are in the same weight class, unless 3U has different definitions of weight class.
3U are same weight class with slight tolerance. But if you mean head heavy, then yes, Voltric Z Force 1 definitely is much more head heavy.
Hello all, I had never given a serious thought to anticipation when it comes to a men's Doubles game. May be because it's as difficult to cultivate as it's elusive to appreciate at an amateur level. Plus I think it comes under the forte of front player. I would like to know how should a player start getting better at this in Doubles. Rushing forwards leaving my base feels so counterintuitive.. !!
There's anticipation at every level of play, as early as receiving a serve. "will they flick me?". Everyone anticipates. If you want to get better at it, practice drives, receiving serves and defending smashes
I have tried to anticipate opponents next shot, service returns etc. It's fine when I'm right but if not then my partner is left stranded. I think its not feasible if our partner is not at par/quick foot.
