Drills to returning serves
Receiving
Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
In real matches, I really confused with my opponents' serves, especially to diferentiate between the backspin and sidespin serves. But now, I'm getting used to returning the sidespin because I can see clearly my opponents brushing the ball more sideways instead of underneath the ball. So, I found a way to practice service return. My opponents serves through the match until it's done but I haven't tried it yet. Is it possible?
Thank you very much
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,
That is a good idea if you are focusing on your return of service. Nice thinking.

Alright then
How to differentiate between the backspin and the sidespin serves? I see no difference, especially when they're using their backhand. They start up, and finish down below, it really confuses me.
