wot is the best way to return a side-top spin & side-under spin serve because when i push a side-top spin serve the ball goes really high they smash it
Hi Jimmy,
The best idea is to flick the return. As soon as a serve has any topspin on it, you are better off tomake an attacking stroke on the return. THe flick is probably the safest option. Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Flick.If it is a side-under spin serve then you can push it back just allowing for the sidespin. So angle your bat like a rudder to steer the ball back onto the table.
In a match you will come across a lot of short backspin serves. One of the safest and most effective ways to deal with it is to use a push. We show you how to do this effectively.
