Sometimes i can not get a heavy underspin serve back. It just dies into the table. How can i get it back? I get a normal serve back with a push.

Hi Joseph,
To get the heavy backspin serve back, use a push but face the bat more towards the roof. This will allow the angle of the bat to get the ball back on the table.
For more tips on this you can take a look at the content in our Receiving Secrets lessons.
