How to return the serves

Yashodhan Khopkar Asked 5 years ago

Sir, i find it difficult sometimes to return the serves. Some new players may have different hand actions and styles too. So returning those serves becomes bit difficult. For example timo boll reverse pendulum, or dimitrij serves or tomahawk serves. Where exactly to place so that we get at dominating position in the game. Pls reply

Thankyou

Hi Yash,

The optimal return position is different for each opponent and for each point.

As far as the technique for returning in general it is important to watch the serve and the ball and then adjust the angle of your racket depending on the type of spin that you figure is on the ball.

We have a section on Serving and Receiving that is aimed at this important area of the game.
