hi,
when i recieve very spinny serves should i wait a little bit and then recieve the serve or should i recieve this serve immediately without waiting?

Hi David,
The best thing is to get it early but it is easier to wait a little so you get a better chance to see the flight of the ball and also the ball loses a little bit of its spin.
Still think about keeping your hand relaxed to help to absorb the spin.

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.
