Effective forehand serves left-handed in doubles

John Gebhardt Asked 5 years ago

I recently injured my right bicep and have been playing left-handed for the first time since I was a teenager. It is going pretty well except for my forehand serves. It is almost impossible for me to land the ball in the opponents right-hand court. 

I am playing with a new group of players and have been promoting pingskills.com. Everyone who has gone here says you have really helped their game. Keep up the good work.

Hi John,

If you are serving from your backhand corner, angle the bat so that it is almost vertical, with the nose of the bat pointing to the ground.  Then brush the ball on the right hand side.  That should get it sliding easily over the the opposite corner of the table.

Thanks for recommending us to your friends.  It is nice to know we can help lots of players from all over the world.
