Hi Bhushan,

If you get a low topspin serve the best stroke to use is the Forehand Flick or the Backhand Flick.  This will counteract the topspin on the ball.  Take a look at the lessons and see if this helps.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.

I normally use a lot of backspin if I can use my backhand. Aggressive players like topspin and not so experienced aggressive players are prone to hitting the net if your backspin is strong enough. If I can use my forehand, I either put side-spin or some more top-spin but mostly side-spin.
