I tried Ovtcharov's backspin serve where he bend his legs and body really low,my opponent tend to struggle attacking or giving a short push on the ball and sometimes returning it too high,is this a good sign?

Hi Clement,

It certainly is a good sign.  Looks like you have found a good serve to use.

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.
