Receiving
Manshay Wadhwa Asked 8 years ago
When I receive a hard spin from serve, many a times when i want to play the backhand it goes outside of the table what should i do?

Hi Manshay,
If the ball is often going out past the table focus on getting more topspin so that the ball can dip onto the table. Focus on getting a really fast brushing action on the ball to counter the spin that is on the serve as well.

If it is a topspin serve to your backhand, closed bat angle is important. You might even want to try a flat smash with your backhand with almost similar look to the banana flick. If it is a long ball to your backhand. You can counter topspin it, you just need to adjust your bat angle and body position well. Hope this helps :)
