Fast backspin serves anywhere

Humaira Fasih Asked 8 years ago

Hi alois

I wanted to know how to increase my ability to attack fast serves with backspin on them especially if my opponent continues to vary the serve between my forehand and backhand. I may be able to attack such a fast serve if it is on one side but i face difficulty with attacking this kind of serve if my opponent varies the position of serve.

Hi Humaira,

You are a step closer to getting this right.  It is great that you are able to do the strokes from one position.  Now it is a matter of practising it more and watching the direction of the ball right from the server's hand.

We talk a little about this concept in the Building Blocks of Table Tennis section in our video on Randomisation. I hope this helps.
