Hi Mashhood,

At this stage you could still use a pre-made bat or get yourself a slower custom made bat.  The bats that we recommend are the Stiga Carbotech Table Tennis Bat or if you are looking at a custom made bat try the William Henzell Table Tennis Bat with Mark V.

Returning serves is a difficult part of Table Tennis.  There are a few things to keep in mind.  One is to alter the angle of your bat to steer the ball back.  Also think about keeping your hand relaxed.

We will be making a DVD on this topic this year. 

Good luck with your Championships.
