Hi Prabhu,

We are in the process of making a DVD on this subject. So you will have to keep watching our website to get all the information.

This is a common problem for a lot of players. It is certainly one of the difficult parts of Table Tennis.

In the meantime, take a look at previous questions in Ask the Coach on Service 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.
