How to see through fake movements

Yesterday, I encountered a person who served a ball with a lot of fake movements. How do you see through their fake movements?
Thanks!

Hi Ken,
The important things to focus on are the contact of the bat on the ball and the flight of the ball.
It is easy to be distracted by the extra movement of the fake actions. So watch the contact carefully. Remember they can only hit the ball once and with one type of spin.
Then the flight of the ball will give you some more information on the spin and speed of the serve.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
