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.
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.
