Left handers serve

Receiving

john Button Asked 11 years ago

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.

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.
