Receiving opposite handed service
General
Andrew T Asked 15 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I know where to receive serve if my opponent, like me, is right handed and standing by his backhand corner. Where do you stand to receive a righty serve coming in from the center or unlikely forehand side of the table? Where do you stand to receive a servecoming from a lefty in his or her traditional backhand corner and all of the other variations?
Thank you,
Andrew T

Hi Andrew,
Firstly look at the possible angles that they can hit from where they will contact the abll. Stand with your bat in the middle of that area.
Take a look at our lesson on Basic Ready Position. This will help you with this exact question.
It will also be on our website shortly.
