Hi Pingskills
Sometimes my opponent serves fast and long towards me. The ball always goes into the net. What can I do to deal with this kind of serves?

Hi Felix,
If the ball comes fast sometimes you don't have time to move. Make sure you have a wide stance with your legs. This will allow you to move your body out of the way but still remain balanced and play an attacking stroke.

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.
