First Ball Attack

Eshaan Mishra Asked 9 years ago

HEY ALOIS AND JEFF,

I thought up upon the the first attack "thingie"' u told me, but there's this guy, and I'm having problem replying his serve so, there are his two serves

1) pendulum serve

so YES! He is a lefty I'm a righty and he serves short

so when I chop it it goes to the right side and he plays a topspin and I lose the point

if I try to give it in his backhand ,the ball goes outside and If I counter it simply hits the net ! 

side spin back hand serve!

I just can't reply this serve the ball goes outside the table and he wins the point 

NOW U TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO!

thanks in advance

Hi Eshaan,

Learning to return different spins well, comes with a lot of practice.  It sounds like you have the basic principles right so not it is a matter of getting the accuracy of the return.  If you watch where your return is going, you will learn a little each time, even if it goes off the table.  After a few returns you will be able to adjust your angle to get the ball back on the table or to where you want it.
