Hi Alois,

Is topspin stroke the most effective way to counter a long serve ?

Are there any strokes to return long serve ? Maybe you can suggest me other way to return long serve effectively

Thanks

Hi Ernest,

I think it is the most effective but at a beginner stage it may be easier to move a little back and push or chop the ball back.  However as you progress and play stronger players this will not be very effective as your opponent will be able to attack that ball easily.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
