      It becomes apparent when you try to teach these things how tuned you become to the physics as you progress. I mean as good as the advice is you're still having to leave wide gaps in the narrative as to how much to angle the racket for the myriad of shots you're likely to face.

      There is no substitute for the value of a vast amount of practice and experience.

      Many people seem to think that this game requires extremely fast reflexes but i think that anticipation plays a bigger role.

      A good generic video for intimidate players.

      For more advanced returns, particularly when facing a heavy backspin if you can manage to return it with a heavy topspin you're in a good place to rattle your opponent and gain control of the point.

      Hi Tom, useful tips. I think that your strengths & weaknesses of play also depends on your opponents play. I struggle with strong "blocker" who is also good and returning using wide angles. My strength is forehand and backhand topspin returns but would like to get more spin on these returns so I'm not relying on speed and position. I can get points from my serve variation too. Hope this comment is useful. Martin

      Thank you for the video. It’s obviously helped a lot of people. One thing I don’t understand though is how to know what kind of serve is coming toward you. I guess experienced players will recognize the server’s movement, but I’ve watched this video a bunch of times, and the backspin serve and topspin serve still look the same to me (when they’re being served). And side spin looks the same too! The only way I can tell the difference is by what happens after the return, and by then it’s too late. What am I missing?

      i don't understand what you mean with possitive stroke on the returning of sidespin, can you make a video or explain, what is need to do in the stroke and what not. Sorry if you don't understand the question, I'm learning english

      Top notch ! just started TT on a local club, only played when i was 10 to 13 yo at school, and a bit of school competiton. Yesterday Old TT players were giving me a hard time only on serves, and effects everywhere… was hard to engage an exchange, when i did , i could develope my game, but boy thoses serves…. grrrr! Thankfully the coach took me appart and showed me some things at the end of the session, and your video is awsome, cant wait to return serves!

      Great lesson and thank you. After watching this yesterday I was finally able to return my son's new well-honed tricky serves with consistency, bothering him no end. Very satisfying it was! Cheers from Sydney – Dave

      This is a bit outdated since nowadays side spins serve and chops gaining prominence and the main method of attacking a serve is banana flicks which ignores most of the top and backspin and interact with side spin instead. What I mean by outdated is little kids trained at banana flick and some even forgo backhand flick all together since flick is more aggressive and supposedly consistent.

      Returning agressive spinny serve : the method works 100 % But how to return very weak very spinny serve , one you cant hit hard because it is low , slow , barely passing over the net. …a nightmare confronting a very experienced player …need to beat his serve..
