Hi coach,

I am not good at a rally. Some of my friends are very good at it unlike me. So they often use a long fast topspin serve. I hit it back of course. In the rally they will return almost all my balls (they seldom mistakes).

if you happen to know a technique or two to return those topspin balls short, please let me know.

Hi Ken,

I think the best think is to learn the  Forehand Counterhit and  Backhand Counterhit strokes well.  This is a good way to get into the rally better.  Learning the technique will give you confidence not be able to rally with them.
