Hi Sandeep,

Returning serve is one of the hardest parts of the game.

The key is to not try to do too much. Just use the angle of your racket to steer the ball back on the table. As you see where the ball is going with each return you will start to adjust naturally to the spin.

We have a series of lessons on how to return spin. Take a look t what is available in our Receiving Secrets section.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
