Hi coach, ur videos inspire me alot ;)
i have problem with My opponent serve, he serve very fast, much spin n power...he always serve to My backhand side(very near side table), when i touch it the ball flies away from the table, sometime i return it but the ball flies very high to him n he finish it with a smash and i lost point everytime, i even cant control the ball :( we called it evil balls hehe
what should i do???maybe My position Wrong???
thx before ;)

Hi Zackriyya,
You can try to stand a little further from the table. This will give you more time to see the ball.
You can also take a look at this previous Ask the Coach question on How to return a long sidespin serve.

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.
