    Posted: 09/06/2008 at 3:58pm
If my opponent will give me a sidespin serve, can I counter it with a smash if its high enough and near the end line of my table? If its low and short enough, how will I counter it? I know that he want me to counter it using the same spin so he can attack me once I've returned the ball...

Just loop it back.  I.e. if it's pure side spin, then do a regular loop except compensate for the side spin but aiming alot more to the left or right, whichever spin is on the ball

 If I'll be using an anti-spin rubber like the 804 of friendship, I can easily smash or drive it right? What if it has some under spin.

First you have to see what kind of sidespin hes giving you. If he serves righthanded then most likely the spin is to the right vertical axis of the ball....You might have not got that...Basically if hes serving forehand sidespin hit the ball to his forehand side.   If hes serving backhand the return the ball to his backhand...

If i serve a reverse forehand, than the statement above is wrong.. Wink

If its long just drive or loop no matter the spin but if its short you can push of flip aiming in the direction opposite to that the bat was swinging when it hit the ball.
 
Or if you dont see the impact but see the curve, aim in the direction it is curving to

You could also direct the ball into a corner of the table where your opponent isn't... For example if he's standing heaps to your right [his backhand] and serving to your backhand, you can direct the ball [if it's left side spin] to his right corner really short. He'll have to run around to get the ball back.
