Hello Alois/Jeff,
What is the best technique to return a very fast serve? Is it possible?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hi Aldo,
The best way is to get your bat behind it and block it back. The speed of the ball will get the ball back.
Just think about the direction you are sending it with the angle of your bat. Don't try to do too much as the speed of the ball will mean it will be past you before you get to swing through properly.
