Hi Cristh,

I think the best advice I could give you is to learn the basic concepts of reading spin and serves. We cover this in our course on Receiving Secrets.

What part of receiving do yo find the most difficult?

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.

Hi Cristh,

Yes reading the spin that is on the ball is extremely important. Of course even if you know what spin is on the ball, you still need the skills to execute your chosen stroke.
