Hi, coach. Here is my question, I just come back from my table tennis club. My last match is play with me friend. He is good at service. When he put some spin at the ball, I don't know what type of spin and I tried to change the angle of the bat, but there is a backspin. Then, he do same type of serve but it is sidespin. So, how he do that? I don't know what types of spin he put at the ball everytime. How to return it and serve it? If I don't know the answer then I will lose it again.

p/s: it will be great if you put some video

Thanks.

Hi Elvin,

We have a series of lessons on this topic as part of our Premium membership.  We have the Serving Secrets and Receiving Secrets lessons that cover these areas.

It can be frustrating when you are not sure about spin so it is really worth taking the time and effort to get it right.
