I need some help with short play. Most of the time after my short service my opponents receive it rather long with a backspin, then I have opportunity to attack. But high level players catch me with short receive, especially to my FH side. For instance after my serve they just lift the ball and the ball goes very close to the net and the edge of the table in my FH. Since I am serving from my BH side I have long way to go to receive 3rd ball. Then because I am late ball is already dropping down and I cannot flick it, so I have to push it. Then the ball is long or medium long which is very easy to attack and because I am very close to the table it is all over.
Of course you can tell that I should predict what he is going to do, but I found that when I try to go very quick to my FH side, then he pushes long to my BH with a backspin, and of course I am not there to attack the ball.
