Hey alois and jeff, I want to know that which move should I apply on my backhand side to return a fast short serve? Because when I try to return it the ball goes out of the table. Please help me.

Hi Anirudh,

You need to first see if it has backspin or topspin.  If it has topspin I would use the Backhand Flick.  If it has backspin then use the Backhand Push.
