How Do I Return Mizutani Serves

Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago

Hi Mahmoud,

Firstly practice for a lot of years.

To return any serve it is a matter of working out what type of spin is on the ball.  Then adjust the angle of your racket to counteract the spin that they have put on the ball.  

Jun’s left handed Pendulum serve has sidespin on the ball.  The spin will carry the ball back to Jun’s backhand side so your angle needs to be aiming to his forehand side.  

We cover the principles of returning serves in our Receiving Secrets section.  It is a really big part of the game and probably the most difficult to start with.
