Hi,
Whatever direction his bat is going at the INSTANT it touches the ball on the serve, that is the direction the ball will try to go when you hit it. If his bat is going over and to the left, it has top and left side spin. If it is going down and left, it has chop and left sidespin. The important thing to watch for is the INSTANT the bat contacts the ball when he is serving. |

The thing is experienced players rely on instinct. That is they watch the serve and they just react based on the thousands of balls they returned in the past.
They ACQUIRED the instinct by applying the principle that hookshot described in practice. In addition try to look at the bounce of the ball a topspin ball tends to leap forward while a backspin ball tends to 'sit up' a bit Get your partner to serve simple backspin or topspin from behind a board and try to read it from the bounce after a onth or two you will build up your 'instinct'. Another tip is to not worry about the sidespin as long as your serve return is smooth and positive THROUGH the ball tends to go where you hit it. But back spin and topspin are critical because you may go in the net or off the table. rule is: backspin and back/sidespin serve: push under or lift(topspin) topspin serve:drive or smash or block over the ball pure sidespin serve: treat as topspin that is go over the ball with attacking shot short serve: use guided return with neutral vertical racket face looking to flick if you can. Lastly think like an artillery man! in the net? up abit on that serve next time off the end down a bit. you are building your INSTINCT If table tennis was easy we would be doing something else! you'll get there! |

To see the spin, look how the ball bounces! Don't just look at the blade, some players have a very good wrist and do their best to fool you!

Yeah, trying to watch the logo on the ball can often be helpful; you'll see the logo produce a "blur line" that gives away the type of spin.
But as for watching the racket at the point of contact with the ball, it definitely takes some time and experience to effectively judge it. Especially with the pendulum serves that use the exact same motion to produce topspin and bottomspin balls. |

Short serves = short receives . Drop shots are the best for that. Long fast and spinny serves = 3 options. 1/ just put your racket in opposition as if your were blocking and make sure you are directing your paddle's head to the point were the stroke was starting from. 2/ shop it long and get ready for the next heavy top spin or drive which will follow. 3/ best but most difficult (needs speed and practice). Loop it back ! |

Also, make it a point to push long or drop long serves on occassions. It makes you less predictable, Maze didn't realise that until getting schooled by Ma Lin.

try to look at the blade on what angle did it came contact to the ball, also the amount of spin can be detected and thetype of spin by just seeing how it bounces.
practice is always the key, the more you do it the more it will become an instinct when you master it and dont have to think about it when you do it |

the best way is watch the bounce and flight of the ball, this way you dont care what the oponent did to his serve. It seems hard but once you get used to it, its quite easy to take service.

one of the toughest serves to recieve is short sidespin, because it's difficult to hit through the ball when you're leaning forward. The toughest to me is when the opponent serves a short sidespin serve from his backhand to my forehand. This requires you to bend your wrist akwardly and hit back toward the sideline if you're going to counter. No substitute for footwork on that one I'm afraid. I've learned that lesson the hard way many times.
