My opponent is left handed. He serves a backhand backspin at moderate speed down the centre of the table which spins into my body. What is the favoured response to this as i find it difficult to return.

Hi John,

The main thing is to make space for yourself by moving slightly to the side.  Then if the ball is long, make a topspin return.
