How Do I Return Mizutani Serves
Alois Rosario Answered 11 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.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
