Hi coach!

I have problem that when they make a topspin serve or no spin serve I don't know what to do, Is there any way to return this type of serve without flicking?

Hi Long,

You can push it back but you need to come right down on the ball to keep it short and low.  If the ball is long, you can also topspin it back.

The other option is to improve your flick as this is the most effective stroke again the topspin or no spin serve.
