     Step1: steps in your court

     Step2: steps in the opponent's court just inches away from net

     Step3: returns to your court......

Hi Balu,

The key is to open the angle of your bat.  So the face of your bat should be looking at the roof.

If it is very close to the net you could even think about flicking the return.
