The ball goes out of the side of the table when I return a heavy spin serve. How do I return the serve without losing a point.

Hi Sahil,

Use the angle of your racket to get the ball back on the table.  Don’t try to do too much.  If the ball is going to the left then angle your bat to face the right and vice versa.  We have a series in our Premium lessons on Receiving Secrets that will help a lot with this area of your game.
