How to receive reverse pendulum serve?
Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago
Hi Harish,
If you are both right handed, it is probably easier with your backhand. This will give you the angle to angle the ball over to the right. The spin from the Reverse Pendulum will want to take the ball to your left so you need to counter that.
Depending on whether it has backspin or topspin with the sidespin you need to angle your bat up or down more.
We do show this in our Receiving Secrets series of lesson.

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.
