Hi Coach,

Is it possible to return a push or chop against pure side spin serve. if possible then how and where should be the contact point of bat and ball.

Hi Trilochan,

This is possible.  You need to hit the ball on the same side that they hit it to generate the spin.  Your bat would need to face to the side of the table or at least the net post.

We will be making a DVD on Returning serves.  Watch out for it.
