being short

dan amiro Asked 14 years ago

Hey guys, I was wondering, I'm really short and only my hips reach the table. Doing all the serves like you see the pros with the pendulum serve and stuff is pretty hard to do. usually sens my hands are so close to the table size the ball will usually hit the net when I throw the ball up in the air and try to put spin. The only spin that has enough power and spin in the forward spin.Have any pointers?

Hi Dan,

Try lifting your elbow up as high as you can before you start the serve.  This will lift the height that you are hitting the ball from.
