Hi Elvin,

If the ball is low it is best to use a push return.  We have lessons on this in our Receiving Secrets course.

If the ball is low with a bit of topspin you could try to make a flick as well.

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.
