Hi Pratap,

If the ball has sidespin you may be able to flick it back.  Take a look at our lessons on the Forehand Flick and Backhand Flick.  These may be a good option for you.

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.
