Short Pushing a Short Top Spin Serve
Receiving
Abhinav Upadhyay Asked 9 years ago
Hi Alois,
I have seen Timo Boll short pushing top spin serves, the action seems quite different from a normal short push against backspin serve. Could you explain the difference between the two?

Hi Abhinav,
When pushing a short topspin serve, your bat needs to come down vertically. Also make sure you have a relaxed grip to absorb some of the speed and spin on the ball.

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.
