harish vempa Asked 12 years ago
Coach my brother is good at back spin serve. I couldn't able to recieve it. When i was trying to flick ball is moving back,if i push the ball it's becoming a good oppurtunity to my brother to flick or topspin it. So.what to do coach.

Hi Harish,
If the ball only bounces once on your side then you should work on your topspin stroke. Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. If it is short on your side, then work on pushing it back short to him so that he can't attack it or push it to a difficult position for him, like to his backhand side.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
