How to return fast, long serves

Subscribe  Online coaching

In this video I explain how to return fast, long serves. These are quite common in amateur table tennis and can cause all kinds of problems.

To return these serves, you should give yourself a bit more space back from the table and shorten your strokes. This gives you more time and makes it easier to time your shot.

In the video I show how to return fast, long backspin serves and fast, long topspin serves.

Thanks to Daniel Hearne-Potton for providing the demonstration.
