Hi Ravi,

You need to allow for the backspin.  Push the return back and tilt your bat right back.

You need to get close to the ball and close to the table to reach it as soon as it bounces.

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.
