How to receive a side spin or a pendulum service?

Alois Rosario Answered 6 years ago

Hi Jai,

Try to watch the direction of the ball and the spin. If it is from a Right hander the ball will tend to go to your right when you hit it. So, face your bat more to the left to counteract the spin on the ball. Don't try to do too much, just use the angle of your racket to get the ball back on the table.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
