Hello.!

I have a question about a serve,a very annoying serve.

What should I do when a person hits a fast,deep(where the line is) sided serve. The ball spins right sided..  This serve only hits once on my side of the table and it bounces really high,real fast

Hi Eddy,

This is definitely a case for using your topspin return.  Because the ball is long you should try to attack it.  If you brush the ball fast, you will counter the sidespin on the ball.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
