Backspin Service bat angle
Serving
Ryan Wang Asked 11 years ago
Is holding the bat vertically or horizantally better for a backspin serve?
Thanks!

Hi Ryan,
It is better to have you bat more horizontal to be able to brush the bottom of the ball. You can generate backspin with the bat more vertical but it is harder to get the brushing action.

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.
