Receiving fast and bouncy serve
Receiving
naveed ahmed Asked 12 years ago
Hi coach,
Few days back I played a guy who served fast and bounced high on my backhand, there was no backspin, but a little sidespin, when I tried to block, the ball just popped up providing a easy smash. The ball comes fast and bounces high that it becomes difficult to even loop or backhand topspin it back. When I try to block or chop, ball pops up or flies off the table.
How to receive this type of serve?

Hi Naveed,
try to keep top spinning this ball. You could take a small step back so that you get more time to play the shot.
Keep the stroke simple.

Reading Spin
Once you understand the effects of spin, you need to learn how to read the type and amount of spin your opponent puts on the ball when serving.
