Sir

I am using Challenger Attack Short Pimples rubber for backhand.  How to receive side spin services.  When I receive easily they are attacking or my return is ballooning.

Hi Bala,

With the short pimples you can think about flicking the return.  Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Flick.

Play more forward on the ball.  The short pimples will absorb some of the spin.  Be quite firm with your strokes or they will balloon.

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.
