Hi Alois sir,

From many days i was really thinking of this question. Is it possible to put any ball in any part of the table, especially when opposite player is doing all different types of serve?

Hi Yashodhan,

Yes it is within reason given the landing position and the net being in the way.

The spin on the ball can be negated and the angle can be set up using your wrist and hand angle.

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.
