Topspinning a serving
Receiving

Dear coach
Is any medium-long serving can be forhand-topspinned?

Hi Nabil,
If the ball only bounces once on the table then it is definitely possible. If the ball is going to only bounce once but it is a bit higher then you will be able to come over the ball and topspin it. You will need a faster swing of your racket to get the grip to lift the ball over the net.
It is possible.

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.
