Hey Alois and Jeff,
I wanted your opinion on how to return a particular pendulum serve. In the situation, I typically stand about arm+paddle's length away from the table (perhaps a bit more at times), with my left shoulder in line with the left edge of the table (I'm right handed). I tend to keep my right toe in line with my left heel in order to favor my forehand a bit more.
My opponent (right handed) serves from his backhand corner with a medium to high toss serve. His swing just brushes the back of the ball and imparts a decent amount of topspin and side-spin toward my backhand side. The final result is a short serve that typically bounces once on my side before continuing on, off the left side of the table.
Any input of the footwork and strokes I have available to return are greatly appreciated. I usually use the stance I mentioned because he regularly uses long serves.
Thanks in advance!
