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.
