Hi Darien,
It is best not to try and combat spin with more spin. You should try to just use the angle of your racket to steer the ball back. We cover a lot of principles of returning spin in our DVD, Receiving Secrets Revealed which is available through the DVD page of our website.

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.
