Another Serving Question
Serving
Ji-Soo Woo Asked 17 years ago
I know this is a vague question, but as a very approximate and rough rule of thumb, how much percentage of the spin on serve would you say should be generated by your wrist, and how much by your arm?

Hi Ji-Soo,
Another interesting question. I Think 80 to 90% is generated by the wrist and the rest by the rest of your body because the wrist is where you generate the speed of the racket and that is what helps to generate the extreme spin.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
