How to return a top and sidespin shot effectively my opponent hit this kind of shot on my sidespin under spin serve and also tell me to avoid such shot or some kind of serve to avoid such hit?

Hi Haseeb,

You can block that ball back.  You need to allow for the sidespin by angling your racket to allow for the sidespin.

We do talk about it in this Ask the Coach Show #33.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
