Increasing spin
Receiving

Hi Pingskills! How to receive a sidespin serve with just adding the spin on the ball and send it back to my opponent?

Hi Xariuz,
This is s difficult thing to do. It requires a lot of touch to be able to keep the ball rotating in the same direction and increase that spin. You need to brush the ball the same way as it is rotating while still getting the angle of the racket right. Experimentation is the best way as each serve will be different to deal with.

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.
