Backspin Trick
Serving
Brenan Melton Asked 10 years ago
i recently watched a friend of mine serve and not only did it hit the other side of the table, but it came back to him therefore making it almost nonreturnable. i was wondering how he did this and if its legal.

Hi Brenan,
It is legal. Take a look at this video on the How to Execute the Ma Lin Serve.
The main thing is to get a lot of backspin on the ball and not give it too much forward momentum so that it can stop and come back towards you.
