Sidespin serve return high

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.

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.
