Service return against sidespin

Receiving

When there is right side spin or left side spin in the ball while returning serve. There is no condition that we should receive it to the right or left hand side of other player . That is by practice we can receive any type of spin to anywhere on the table. 

Whether my understanding is correct ??

Thanks a lot sir.

Hi Kedar,

That is correct.  If you let the ball just hit your bat it will go back in the direction the spin takes it.  You have the ability to change the angle of your racket to steer it back to where you want it, even the opposite side of the table.

It is all about the angle of your racket on contact.
