Receiving
When my racquet touches the ball . It goes outside table . How to recieve it if it is shorter or longer.
Hi Sonia.
The main thing is to angle your racket correctly.
Take a look first at the tutorial on Returning Spin Serves in our Training 101 section.
If the serve is long you can use a topspin stroke but still you will need to compensate slightly for the sidespin by the angle of your racket.
In a match you will come across a lot of short backspin serves. One of the safest and most effective ways to deal with it is to use a push. We show you how to do this effectively.
