Hi Henry,

Table tennis can become a really complex game when you start to think about the different angles and spins that you need to counteract.

The best teacher in these situations is experience.  You will start to understand the angles you need to make to get the most effective strokes including serves.

We have several lessons on spin and strokes that try to simplify the process.  Take a look through the Strokes & Techniques section as well as the Serving Secrets and Receiving Secrets sections for Premium members.
