Return changing heavy spin

My opponent uses heavy side spin left or right. I can't see the spin in time to correct my paddle angle.
I try to return it back hard...
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dennis Capewell

Hi Dennis,
It is a matter of watching and learning as much as you can each time it happens. Then you need to alter the angle of your racket appropriately. This is a bit of trial and error because the spin can change subtly.

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.
