Receiving
I’ve played ping pong and I usually get a lot of spin serves sent to me, but I’m not that good at returning it. How do I know how to return spin serves for beginner?
Hi Man,
I think returning serves is one of the trickiest parts to start with.
We have a few tips for you in our Training 101 section on Returning Spin Serves. I think this will help you.
After that we have a whole Premium section on Serving and Receiving that will help you.
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.
