  • Returning serves can be really tough. It’s the most difficult part of table tennis for a lot of players.
    But I want to make returning serves easier for you.
    In this video I share an approach to returning serves - a simplified approach - which will hopefully help you return more of those tricky serves you struggle with.

    Good video, but....> all serves you did was "long" and quite "high" - I mean, ball would not fall on table 2-3 times. On short and spin serve you can not use topspin return...

    You cannot topspin a heavy short underspin especially on the FH side. What you said makes sense for long serves.

  • @videeau

    I backspin everything. Even if I pop it up, my opponents are likely to smash it into the net.

  • @rishabhbhatia1847

    This might be good for novice servers. Once you receive heavy backspin short serves topspining them is very difficult unless you have an advanced flick in your arsenal.

    I like how topspin generally can be played with anything. Well, I guess if you’re good enough (and I mean really good) you could also use backspin to an extent, but sidespin can be tricky. If you go at the wrong direction into a sidespin serve with your sidespin hit, that ball will fly so far from the table that it’s unreal.
