I'd done a little research before I did this and it seemed to me that that's exactly what a pro sports photographer does, while filling up card after card to ensure they don't miss the killer shot. All this is easier said than done but by using this technique of following the ball, then shooting on burst when I thought someting was about to happen, I managed to get 40 shots (out of 728) that were good enough to keep, although there were some that were very similar to each other due to the burst shooting.
