Hi Pingskills! How to receive a sidespin serve with just adding the spin on the ball and send it back to my opponent?

Hi Xariuz,

This is s difficult thing to do.  It requires a lot of touch to be able to keep the ball rotating in the same direction and increase that spin.  You need to brush the ball the same way as it is rotating while still getting the angle of the racket right.  Experimentation is the best way as each serve will be different to deal with.

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.
