Ideally it would be nice if Sanada could get it to change direction before the bounce but for the sake of the rules of the game probably sometime after the bounce before the opponent goes to hit the ball instead of what Pirates of the Americas does when it splits the instant it hits the ground.
An interesting feat for Sanada would be an X-Shot combined with the Black Dragon but instead of hitting the X-Shot normally then having them change direction, the shot is hit so that it looks like it's a single ball, then the ball suddenly splits into the X-shot and the cloned balls diverge away...
Just a question about Shukuchihou.
It has been stated that Shukuchihou is caused by the player keeping his head still while moving to create the illusion of instantaneous movement. Even though it is an illusion, the players still teleport and move very quickly.
So what is Shukuchihou...
Well technically the ball does not really clone when following the speed mulitplier theory. So when Oni hits a 10x speed ball to attempt to create 10 balls, Irie does not have that much power in his arm (apparently) to hit it back at 10x speed to create the clone illusion so the ball will be...
Hmm... I guess you could say that the ball is moving so fast that your eyes can't catch up to it so instead of trying to look for the ball, you look at the players when they contact the ball.

Are you asking that if the speed of the ball is increasing, why are the balls grouped together instead of being hit to the corners?
If you want an answer, my explanation "tries" to explain it using the ball instability theory.
Take my theory,
To force the ball to clone, all you need to do is hit the ball in completely different directions at the same time. This may be simple but this is actually quite hard to do since if you hit the ball with the racquet, having a second racquet hit it at the same time is impossible...

I think the X-ball technique is a variation of Kintarou's original clone technique combined with extreme power. I don't think that spin or hitting with the frame makes the ball clone like Entaku Shot or Abare Dama.
There is...
