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.

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.
