Hi Aadarsh,

Try to stand a little further away from the table when you are returning it. then just use the pace on the ball to block it back. Don't try to generate too much speed of your own to start with. Make it as simple as possible.

As you start to see the ball better you can then try a Forehand Topspin stroke.

For our Premium members we have a course that would be very helpful. Take a look at the contents of the Receiving Secrets course.

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.
