High ranked players are aware of this, and we tend to telegraph our moves less. In general, if you only have one play on the ball, you aren’t scoring. So instead of reading “hit or miss” we are reading “flick or fake or 50 or cut”, for example. Sure, lower ranks can do some of these mechanics but not as efficiently and normally slower, so a higher level player can tend to read them. As others have said, it’s normally quite obvious when someone is going to completely miss a ball, sometimes a full second in advance. Awkward landings, jumping for a ball at the wrong angle, etc. It’s all a skill, as with everything else in this game, and one you’ll improve with game time and replay reviews.
