Hi Mohammad,

This can be an awkward stroke.  Try to make the push more vertical.  So as well as trying to just tap it think about the stroke going more down.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
