Hi Venkat,

This is really difficult!  You really need to guess the right direction of the ball and then get your angle just right.  You are better off to move back from the table and trying to lob the ball back.  this will give you a bit more time.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
