Serving towards pimples
Receiving
Sasha Savic Asked 11 years ago
Hi, Alois
I feel like I am improving my game thanks to your tips. In my humble opinion, no one should underestimate defenders. But, there is something I would like to discuss. Some players serve intentionally to my pimples, in order to get me away from the table. Those serves are neither short nor long, somehow in between, and they make me go on the side. I try to chop, tha ball usually goes higher, and they smash it towards parallel. How should I return those serves to stop them, to make them think twice before attacking my returns. Thanks

Hi Sasha,
Play the return faster and earlier and go wide across court so that they can’t angle you to the other side.

Fake Movements
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
