Hi
I would like to know where the first bounce should be to make it bounce twice.
And when i should hit the ball,just before it reach the table or at net height?
Thanks for answers :)

Hi Alvin,
Get the first bounce close to you on your side of the table. It can be about 15 to 30cm from your end line.
You can hit it at net height or even higher so that the ball can bounce over the net. If you hit it from too low it will go into the net.

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.
