Devansh Dubey Asked 7 years ago
Hello sir,
I learnt various type of serves. I can return all type of spinny serve but I got a problem in returning tomahawk serve because it is very spinny and when it touches my bat it fly right left or outside. What can I do.

Hi Devansh,
If the Tomahawk is served by a right hander it will fly to your left when you hit it.
So angle your bat to the right to counteract that spin. Don't try to do too much with the return to start off with. Keep relaxed especially in your hand and work on guiding the ball back to start with.

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.
