Hello Alois I just got a new paddle and I have a friend who serves long backspin serves to my forehand and I was wondering how do I return to the serve.

Hi Nolan,

Use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin stroke.  The main thing is to get a good brushing contact and have a more vertical stroke to lift the ball over the net.
