Table tennis serving technique is very important, so catching the opponent's serve well is also a technique that cannot be ignored. With good table tennis receiving and serving skills, you can avoid directly eating the opponent's serve. So, how can you catch the opponent's serve well? To catch the serve well in table tennis, you must judge the route of the opponent's ball, the nature of the spin, and the direction of the ball. The direction of the ball. Below are some tips on how to judge the opponent's serve in table tennis that I brought to you. Welcome to read.

1. Judgment of the length of the incoming ball route

To judge the length of the incoming ball route, we mainly pay attention to the range of arm swing and wrist force when the opponent serves. If the arm swing range and wrist force are larger, the route to the ball will generally be longer.

2. Judgment of the spin properties and strength of the incoming ball

The properties of the incoming ball are generally divided into topspin, backspin, side spin, side topspin, measured backspin and no spin. ball. To judge the nature of spin, you mainly need to observe the direction of friction at the moment when the racket touches the ball. More commonly, it is to observe the location where the ball touches the ball. Nowadays, the serve is an unobstructed serve. It can be roughly judged based on the elevation angle of the racket surface when the opponent serves and the location of the ball. It shows the nature of the spin. For example, if the racket is placed flat and served, the ball will most likely produce backspin. In addition, it can also be judged by the first landing point of the ball. If the first landing point is closer to the net, it is generally a backspin or non-spin ball. If the first landing point is far away from the net, the ball is generally a topspin ball. The strength of the spin can be judged by the explosive power of the opponent's serve. Another way is to observe the trademark of the table tennis ball. If the incoming ball cannot see the trademark at all, it means that the ball is spinning.

3. Judgment of the direction of the incoming ball

To judge the direction of the incoming ball, you only need to pay attention to three characteristics of the opponent. One is the position of the stance, the other is the direction of the shot, and the third is the direction of the shot. It's a holding method. For example, one of my most commonly used serves is to serve the opponent's backhand wide angle. The preparation for serving is to stand in the backhand position, face the direction level with the table, guide the racket to the right back of the body, and stand the racket slightly. If you want to serve the ball to the middle, you can keep your stance and direction unchanged, move the racket to the back and level the racket slightly to choose to serve the opponent's ball in the middle.
