Hello, I was wondering, how to return a really low backspin serve, can you help? Thanks

Hi Sally,

The best way is to use a push stroke.  The more backspin the more open you need to have you bat. You need to try and get as much practice against this because it is a lot to do with the subtle changes in the angle of your bat to get it just right.

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.
