Hi Gautam,

If the ball bounces teice on your side the best stroke options are to Forehand Push or Forehand Flick.  It is difficult to make a topspin if the ball is bouncing twice on your side.

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.
