What to do when our opponent does ghost serve.

Hi Karan,

As you see the ball coming slowly and ready to bounce back, get as close as you can to the table or net. You can even step around the side of the table if you think you are not going to reach the ball. Then you should hit it with a push or a flick depending on how high the ball is.

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.
