Hi Alois,

I want to know what should I do if the serve comes short and I am unsure of the spin on the ball.

Hi Linus,

The safest option is to push it long and fast to a good position.  If you are unsure and you try to play it short you have very little margin for error. 

The faster push will allow you brush the ball fast which will help to negate some of the spin on the ball.
