In this video, pro player Paul Drinkhall, shows how to return serves with a forehand touch.
A ‘touch’ is a very short return of serve, usually when your opponent has served backspin or no-spin.
Ideally, a touch shot will stay low over the net and bounce twice or more on your opponent’s side of the table. This makes it very difficult for your opponent to attack.
In the video, Paul explains how to do a touch shot, when to use a touch shot and how to follow up a touch shot with your own attack.
A touch shot requires very good feeling and timing. But if you can do it, you will have another option to put your opponent under pressure.
