Hi,
I would like to know how to tell that my opponent has put heavy topspin, backspin and sidespin and vice versa.
Many Thanks!

Hi Hao,
The things to look for are the contact on the ball, their swing and also the flight of the ball after they have hit it.
We have a series of lessons on Receiving Secrets where we go through a lot of these ideas.

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.
