Hi Julio,

This is something that will improve with time.  You need to be able to play against as many different types of servers as possible.

You need to understand the basics of spin first.  This is something that we have gone into a lot of detail with on our Receiving Secrets Revealed DVD

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.
