Hi Preetish,

Stay central to the table.  The best position is where you can just touch the table when you are in the Basic Stance.  Then put your bat on the middle line.  This should put you into a good position to reach the whole table with just one step in any direction.

To receive spin, think about using your bat like a rudder to steer the ball back.  We have a series on  Receiving Secrets that will help a lot in this area.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
