How to Return ANY Serve After 60 | The Step-by-Step Guide Chinese Coaches Teach First

The steps, checks and practice cards from this video, written out properly — The Complete Senior Table Tennis Library: https://meispinmasters.com/?b=1&v=ret... The serve comes, you guess, and the ball goes into the net or flies off the table. It is not your age and it is not your legs: most of us do the right things in the wrong order, and late. This video gives you five small steps for any serve, done in the same order every time, with nothing that asks for young legs. Step 1. Read it at the moment of the touch: down or up, left or right. Your misses are the answer key. Step 2. Stand one step from everything: near the middle, ready before the toss. Step 3. Choose before the net: a first plan, five base returns, and what to do with a serve you can't read. Step 4. Meet it small and early, without lunging. Step 5. Go home: paddle up in front of you before their next ball. Final key: why the first bounce on the server's side fools most players, and the habit that tells you short or long. Plus a block for knees, shoulders and balance that are not what they were, and a seated exercise you can do tonight at the kitchen table.
