Receiving

Whenever I deal with short services I prefer my reverse penhold backhand.  Is this ok?

Hi Bennett,

If that suits you then it is good.  This is similar to the backhand sidespin flick for shakehanders.

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.
