Determining short and long serves

Receiving

Sally Mander Asked 14 years ago

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.

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.
