How do i return a sidespin serve?
Hi Matias,
Take a look at the previous questions on the same topic. All you need to do is type in "returning sidespin serve" in the search box at the top of the Ask the Coach page. You will see lots of answers there on the same topic that will give you a good deal of information. If you have any questions after going through those, please let me know.
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.
