Returns going too high

Receiving

I check my paddle it does not look to be angled up, but many times the ball goes too high in the air.  This particularly after a good server with spin. 

I am waiting on your secret's revealed dvds but hoping to have some help while waiting for it. 

Thanks

Hi Mary,

It is probably not that the racket is angled up but more the effect of the spin.  Try to actually angle your racket down towards the table more if the ball is flying up.  This will counter the effect of the spin.

the grip should not be too tight as then the spin takes more effect on the racket.
