How to return a long and fast sidespin serve

Receiving

Joey Tang Asked 8 years ago

My friend plays long and fast sidespin serves that I cannot return, it is just too fast and too spinny.

Is there any way I can return it effectively?

Thanks.

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.
