Table tennis is a sport that requires its players to master various techniques, considering that this sport is full of tricks and intrigues to be able to master and even win matches.

Of the various techniques for playing table tennis, there is one technique that is very important for a player

To start the game, a player must serve which must then be returned by the opponent. Serving and returning serve is one of the most important parts of table tennis, and must be practiced.

If we play in a match, being able to return the serve from the opponent is a good capital to continue to the next stage of the game. How could I not, if we can't return the service, it means we lose points and will affect the mentality of the match.

So how do we get the opponent's service back? Concentration is the main thing before we receive a serve, then pay attention to what kind of opponent's serve so we can anticipate it. Filled or empty ball service can be seen in the imposition of the ball on the bet. Then the last thing we have to pay attention to is the direction of the ball, to the right or left of the table and long or short serves.

After the serve is released by the opponent, we are required to read, think and make decisions in a fraction of a second to be able to return the serve, we want to accept it in a way of flip, spin, push, loop or chop depending on the direction of the ball and the type of service that is coming. Try to return to a direction that is difficult for your opponent to attack. If forced to attack the opponent, then we must prepare the best block so as not to benefit the opponent.

To learn how to return serve, try it often during practice and if necessary ask for the assistance of a playmate or coach. Practice is a good time to try to apply new techniques or those we haven't mastered.


Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
