Playing a rapid serve
Receiving
atharva sakharkar Asked 12 years ago
I have a friend who plays at my level but he always beats me due to his serve which is very rapid and a bit spiny
What he does is keeps his hand in the topspin postion near the tabel (still) and then he takes the ball in the other hand and hits the bat with the ball and the ball comes very rapidly and then I can't hit it and whenever I there comes a lot of pressure on the bat and the ball goes somewhere outside the tabel or hits the net.

Hi Atharva,
Take half a step away from the table. This will give you a little more time. Then you need to brush the ball upwards a little more to lift it over the net.

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.
