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.

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.
