Haseeb Ansar Asked 7 years ago
how to return an opponent backhand serve with a certain type of spin that is difficult for me to judge on both corners of the table . The main problem faced by me is that i cant retun that serve from my forehand and mostly the ball goes wide away from the table. My dominant game is of forehand so help me to return that serve from my forehand side
Note : we both are right handed players

Hi Haseeb,
The key is to relax your wrist and turn it back to allow for the sidespin on the backhand serve.
Allow your thumb and pointer finger in particular to relax to allow you to get the bat into that angle.
Then aim to your right as the spin wants to take the ball to your left.
