Hi Konstantin,

Take a look at the free lesson we have on this in our Strokes & Techniques section.  Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Sidespin 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.

I will have a tournament on Monday. Do you have any advice for me? (Maybe my question is stupidsmile)

Hi Konstantin,

I think one of the most important things with a tournament is to just do the things that you do normally.  Often players try to do something special and get themselves into trouble.
