Alois I have the ability to return a sidespin serve. The only issue is that when I return it, it is always high and my opponent attacks it!

Hi Noah,

Focus on your push stroke coming down more vertically and keep a softer more relaxed hand.  The other option is to think about using a flick.

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.
