How to return a backspin serve when the opponent does a 3rd ball attack.

Hi Jack,
The best thing is to be able to push the ball back short on your opponent's side. This will make it more difficult to make a 3rd ball attack.
If you can't it short then think about making the return more effective by pushing the ball fast and long to a difficult position for the server.

Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
