Receiving
When returning a serve, if the second bounce on your side is going to come off the table by the side, should you return it like returning a short serve(push or flick) or like returning a long serve(loop) because it's coming off the table?
Hi Jasper,
You should treat these like long serves as they are only bouncing once on the table.
Moving to the ball is the first important thing to do so that you are not stretching for the ball. Then make as good a topspin stroke as your position allows.
If you are faced with your opponent serving long and fast and there is a lot of backspin on the serve, how should you deal with it? We explain what you should do.
