Receiving
sir, yesterday I played with a boy smaller than me. When we played a match he served first. His serve confused me because his serve first bounced in my back hand and then in my forehand and finally in my backhand. his next serve was fully opposite first bounce on my forehand, second in my backhand and finally went back. his serves were so spinny that nobody in our area can return his serve. I have no video because my mobile broke. if you have a serve like this please help. If you dont mind answer with a video
Hi Shubhanshu,
First remember that they can only hit the ball once and so the ball can only be spinning in one direction.
You need to watch the contact very carefully.

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.
