Receiving
How do I return a backspin serve. I tried to return it while my bat was open and it just went across the table and then I closed the bat and the ball was quite high and he gave me a smash. Is there an effective way to return in so that I have the advantage? The ball even has a slight chop on it.
Hi Aseem,
If the ball has backspin then the best way is to return it with a push stroke. It will take a bit of time to get the angle of your bat right. It is almost impossible to get it right in a week or two. It is something that takes a lot of training and a lot of trial and error.
In this video we will talk about the different ways that you can deal with the half long ball. These include getting to the ball early and pushing it back as well as letting the ball come to you and playing a bigger stroke.
