How to handle strong serves?

Postby xman » 15 Sep 2025, 20:29

Lately, when playing online, almost every player has decent serve. I try to press the button right after the opponent serve and yet cannot even touch the ball and its an ace. Lately the opponents have 10+ aces. I know they might be good at serving but even when I try to hit it back, opponent just hit strong and powerful shot and its unpossible to start a rally.

How to improve returning in this game? It feels like whatever I do, wont help. I change the distance when returning but the ball is going so fast.

you need to press the button before the opponents serves, so you have autopositioning help you to move to the ball slightly so you have a cue to react correctly and faster.
Timing for returning properly is the following: Hold button (recommend slice or normal shot) ---> react ----> release shot button ---> move -----> press shot button again and aim a little to left right or middle
