Serving

Hi PingSkills.

I'm playing a lot of double nowadays but I have a problem on serving as I'm Right Handed and the serve position is on the right side of the table and must go diagonally as my habit is to serve from the left side as a right hand player. I use a lot of Backhand Serve but I can't make a lot of variations and it makes my serve easy to return.

So what is the best serve in Double for the right handed ? And also what type of SPIN, SPEED, and, PLACEMENT is the best when serving in double ?

Please for the answer. Thank you very much.

Hi Frendy,

You can use any serve but really focus on getting the ball short.  Also make sure the ball doesn't go too wide because they can also attack that.

Take a look at our recent Ask the Coach video response to Doubles service position.

so is it better to make the pendulum serve or the backhand serve ?

For a right hander probably a pendulum so that it curves towards the middle line.
