Hey alois and jeff, I want to know that which move should I apply on my backhand side to return a fast short serve? Because when I try to return it the ball goes out of the table. Please help me.

Hi Anirudh,
You need to first see if it has backspin or topspin. If it has topspin I would use the Backhand Flick. If it has backspin then use the Backhand Push.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
