In the center, in the case of a right-handed / right-handed (or left-handed / left-handed) pair, there is generally priority to the left player, but it can sometimes be violated. Priority to the strong blow, yes but, there too there are many counter-examples. And sometimes it is even very complicated to know who the ball is for.
