Hi Asees,

On the shorter serves it is difficult to play a strong topspin or smash.  You are better to try to make the Forehand Flick stroke.  If the ball is higher you can try the topspin but if it is low and short it will be too difficult.

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.
