Spin serve that finishes on table

Bhushan joshi Asked 12 years ago

Hi

How can I tackle a short spin (side / Back /forward spin) service which finishes on table only and ball hardly come out of the table.

Even if I keep face of the bat little open then ball jumps out of the other table or I get trapped into the spin of the ball.

Even I am not able to chop it properly

Please help

Hi Bhushan,

Try to push or flick this ball.  If the ball is going off to the side think about just adjusting the angle of your bat.  If the ball is going to the left then just face the bat to the right.  Try to make it as simple as possible to start with.  Don't try to do too much with the ball just present the bat to the ball at the right angle and watch where the ball goes.

You don't need a big stroke just a short stroke that will give the ball enough power to get back over the net.
