Hi Siddharth,

If the ball is going into the net all the time try to tilt your bat back more.  This will counteract the backspin that is on the ball.

If you can get a monthly membership to the Premium membership and watch the Receiving Secrets course.  This will really help you by showing you the principles of receiving spin serves.

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.
