In this video, pro coach Craig Bryant, explains how to return half-long serves.
Half-long serves can be very tricky to deal with, as the ball bounces just past the end of the table. Should you push or topspin? Should you take the ball earlier or later?
Craig helps to answer these questions. He has some great tips to return half-long serves and some training suggestions to help you improve.

In the video Craig is using a JOOLA Rossi Emotion PBO-c blade and JOOLA Dynaryz AGR rubbers.
