Highs and lows

I have just two things on my mind tonight. One, I've become keenly aware of how the ball bounces when you hit it flat and down, like Sean does. The ball stays very low and almost skids off the floor. Also, when you hit it up, the ball bounces high and takes a long time to drop. This is primarily why everyone, maybe except me, has so much time to get to the ball and hold the shot. This may also explain why flat hitters have more trouble hitting these high bounces. They are accustomed to swinging fast and sometimes wildly at the ball when it is low at their ankles. The second thought which preoccupies me right now has to do with getting adjusted to hitting the ball harder and faster. To start, I now hit the ball lower near the top of the tin. This is good for trying for an outright winner. I have more winners this way than volleying the ball high and slow. However, I have trouble switching between the two shots seamlessly. I do one well, but I do the other poorly when I try to switch to it. I struggle too against hitting the ball like the shooters, especially when I know I have much success with hitting the ball up against them.
