Coach when i am playing sometimes the opponent tries to do spin and it is very near to the table so it gets difficult to play it

Hi Dawood,
If the ball is close to the net try to make a Forehand Push or Backhand Push stroke.
Then it is a matter of getting the basics of reading spin correct. Use the angle of your bat to return the ball. If you need more information on the basics of returning spin take a look through the content we have on our Receiving Secrets course.

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.
