Hi Sai,

If you have a relaxed hand and push the ball back, it can retain some of the spin that the server puts on the ball.

This does take a lot of learning and understanding to get the feel for returning the ball with such feeling.

The same can be done during the rally using a relaxed hand to control the ball back and give your opponent back their own spin.

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.
