Receiving a serve
Rules
Harkaran Sohal Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff.
I live in Winnipeg (Canada).
I am having trouble in receiving mixed spin serves against a left handed player.
The serves are:
- Pure sidepin serve
-Pure under spin serve
- Sidespin mixed with underspin serve
- No spin serve
The problem arises when the contact of the ball on the rubber is hidden by him in a very deceiving manner. I am used to playing only against right handed players. I asked my coach and he said that the way he decieves the opponent is legal in table tennis.
Pls help me .

Hi Harkaran,
You should be able to see the contact of the ball when he serves.
