Hi pingskills.

My friend plays a lot the third ball attack, so I'm wondering where I can return the ball to not let him to attack and if my return need to be short?

Hi Adrian,

If you can keep the return short that would be the best solution.  If not then you need to make the push return offensive so that it doesn't give your opponent too much time to make a strong return.

Make the push fast and long to a difficult position of your opponent.  Watch to see which side your opponent is looking for the ball and try to put it to an awkward spot.

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.
