How to return a fast chop service?

Jeff Plumb Answered 12 years ago

Hi Maharshi,

You have a couple of options. You can try to push the ball back or you can try to tospspin the ball. In the long run, learning the topspin is the best way to go but takes longer to get right than the push.

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.
