Hi Pingskills

Sometimes my opponent serves fast and long towards me. The ball always goes into the net. What can I do to deal with this kind of serves?

Hi Felix,

If the ball comes fast sometimes you don't have time to move. Make sure you have a wide stance with your legs.  This will allow you to move your body out of the way but still remain balanced and play an attacking stroke.
