Doing a fast serve with no spin

Serving

will it be effective if we do serve with speed without spin?

Hi Sachintha,

You will find that as you go up in levels and play better players it will be really difficult to serve a serve that is fast enough to trouble them.

The table width is not big enough to really make it difficult. That is why it is important to develop spin on your serves to gain an advantage.

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.
