Service secrets while playing doubles
Receiving
Sagarika Nayak Asked 8 years ago
After playing table tennis for last 6 months I could improve my placement of ball in the table and forehand smashes to some extent. However, the only thing I need to focus more is returning the serve while playing doubles, where I give the easy points to the opponent. Since I use mostly backhand for returning, it becomes little confusing for me to return the spinned serves.
Seeking some suggestion to improve. :)

Hi Sagarika,
This will take a little time to orientate yourself to the ball and spin at that different angle. Try to focus on the ball itself and you will find that the you will see that it becomes easier. It is just the change in angle that throws your judgement off.

Thanks Alois,
However, my focus at first is to read and diffuse the spin rather than counter attacking. Will keep you posted regarding my improvement.
Thanks Again!!
