Backspin Serve

Serving

Yacine Chafra Asked 14 years ago

Dear Pingskills,

I have been practicing a short backspin serve for a while. I am able to keep it low and short, but I can't get much spin on the ball.

Could you tell me how to apply more backspin on my serve?

Thanks

Hi Yacine,

Try getting a finer contact on the ball. Still hit the ball directly into your own side of the table. The brushing contact will generate the spin.

Backhand Tomahawk Serve

In this lesson we show you how to execute the Backhand Tomahawk serve. This is a good complement to the Tomahawk serve. By utilising a similar action, it will make it difficult for your opponent to tell which way the ball and spin are going.
