Hi Sandeep,

Returning serve is one of the hardest parts of the game.

The key is to not try to do too much.  Just use the angle of your racket to steer the ball back on the table.  As you see where the ball is going with each return you will start to adjust naturally to the spin.

We have a series of lessons on how to return spin.  Take a look t what is available in our Receiving Secrets section.

To be able to receive serve effectively, you need to know how the ball will react when it hits your bat with different types of spin. We go into detail to explain this with the use of our disc wheel.
