Returning very fast and long serves
Receiving
Shivam Agrawal Asked 6 years ago
Recently, I had participated in a tournament where I was playing doubles. And one of my opponent did a very long , fast serve which also swung in the air. I could not receive it. What should I do?

Hi Shivam,
Watch the ball carefully. It will tend to curve in one direction. Then if it is long use a topspin to make the return.

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.
