Late Call

2 players

A serves and calls a target while the ball is in the air. B has to return it there: line, middle or wide.

How to play

A serves and is also the caller. B returns.
As the serve leaves A's paddle, A calls a target: "line" (down the line), "middle" or "wide" (out wide).
B returns to the called target. Hit it: B's point. Miss it: A's point.
Play to 11. Serve to both the right and the left side.
Swap roles after each game.

Too easy? Too hard?

Too easy: A calls later, as the ball crosses the net. Even harder: make the target zones smaller.

Too hard: A calls before serving, or make the target zones bigger.

Good looks like: B hits the called target more often than not, even when the call comes late.

Good reps.Swap roles and go again.
