who has a better way of receiving a long fast serve,. as inconvenient as possible for the opponent's next attack. thanks

For me if it is long enough to fall off the table after the first bounce, I usually chop it. I try to chop it to send the ball back as flat as possible. This way my anti doesn't react to spin too much. It is also possible to achieve some fluttering and funky balls which can be deceptive. Sometimes I push forward, which also produces funny balls. Occassionally I do a side-swipe, which gives good wobbling too, but it is hard to do sometimes. Rarely but sometimes I do hit the serves. Point is to vary your technique and placement. I use these 4 technique and they are pretty much enough for my level.

I think it is good video for your YouTube channel) 2 serve: fast long and short heavy underspin

Strawberry receive is easily achievable and it's the easiest way to give a short return in response to a long fast serve. The difficult part is to read carefully the opponent serve and adjust correctly your bat angle accordingly.

I don't have a youtube channel. I was definitely thinking about it, but the people in Hungary are far more educated in their rights then their obligations. If you want to record a video like Andrea does, you will not, because no one will allow you to do so.
