Hey there,

Whenever I have a competition, I give my opponent a pure sidespin serve. He returns it at a reasonable height that can be attacked. However, the ball always either goes out, or it goes straight into the net.   Am I supposed to hit or rub the ball more when I attack.

Hi Aden,

If you are looking at making it more consistent then brush the ball more.  This will give you more topspin and margin for error.
