Backspin Serve
Receiving
Aseem Aggarwal Asked 12 years ago
How do I return a backspin serve. I tried to return it while my bat was open and it just went across the table and then I closed the bat and the ball was quite high and he gave me a smash. Is there an effective way to return in so that I have the advantage? The ball even has a slight chop on it.

Hi Aseem,
If the ball has backspin then the best way is to return it with a push stroke. It will take a bit of time to get the angle of your bat right. It is almost impossible to get it right in a week or two. It is something that takes a lot of training and a lot of trial and error.

Fake Movements
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
