Hi Pingskills. Recently I've a problem with my backspin serve. It bounce the second time at the another table and it goes sideways instead of stop going forward. How can I improve that?

Hi Xaius,

Think about the angle of your racket when you are contacting the ball.  You will find that the angle is changing slightly.  Usually it is because players drop the end of the racket lower.

Variation of Placement

The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.

Ohhh, I've tried by raising the end of the racket and it works!
