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.
