How can you tell if a serve will bounce two or more times on the table, according to spin and length? thx

Hi Sally,

You need to practice watching the flight of the ball tere is no easy way to learn this.

Time on the table is the only answer. By watching carefully you will start to build up a database of information on the flights of the ball and the amount of spin.
