Hi Erano,

You should get as much practice against this type of serve as possible.  If the ball is moving away from you you should try to get closer to the ball.  If it is in to you then you should move to a good position so that you can strike the ball well.

It is also a matter of getting as much experience as possible against that particular spin.  Alow yourself to adjust.

We will be making a DVD onservice return soon.

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.
