What is the distance between the player and the table when starting to receive a serve?

Hi Nagy,

As a general guide get yourself in a position when you are in the Ready Position where you can just touch the end of the table.

This distance will allow you to move to any place on the table with just one step.

Take a look at our tutorial on the Basic Stance.
