Receiving

Mehmet Demir Asked 7 years ago

hi coaches

Can we receive all kind services with heavy chop (or heavy backspin) Even if the service is short?

cheers

Hi Mehmet,

Yes you can. If they serve with heavy topspin and short it takes a bit of touch to be able to keep the ball low on the return but it is possible. You are either using the Push or the Chop stroke.

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.
