Receiving
An opponent has a very strong backspin serve that is fast and low over the net. It can be short or long. What's the best way to attack this serve.

Hi Stan,
If the serve comes long, even if it is fast and heavy, then you should try to make a topspin return.
The stroke that you will need is the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. The stroke is more vertical to lift the backspin. When the ball is coming fast it will feel like it is even heavier.
If the serve is short, use a push stroke, Backhand Push.
In a match you will come across a lot of short backspin serves. One of the safest and most effective ways to deal with it is to use a push. We show you how to do this effectively.
