Hi Nikko,

If you stay with the principle of topspin against any ball that only bounces once on your side of the table you will have a fairly easy time making decisions.

If the ball is going to bounce twice on your side then you can either push or flick the ball depending on the type of spin on the ball and the height of the ball.
