Receiving low short sidespin serve
Receiving
Ardak . Asked 12 years ago
Hi coaches,
I have a trouble on receiving low short sidespin serve. I can recieve only approximately 1 of 4 low short sidespin+backspin serve. Is it better to practice backhand push by using the correct angle? or Is it better to practice on backhand flick? thanks!

Hi Ardak,
Getting the return correct is just a matter of time and experience. I think it is better to user the push to start with. Because of the backspin, the flick is more difficult.

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.
