Fast ball serve errors

Hi coaches,

everytime i attempt to use the fast long serve, i cant make it perfect. Its either my serve is long but very slow and very high or sometimes it goes out of the table. Is there anything you can suggest so I can perform this serve perfectly?

Hi PAtrick,

You need to practice this away from the match situation.  Put a target on the table where you want to hit the ball and repeatedly practice serving to that target.

Don't be afraid to miss the table during these practice sessions.   Just focus on getting the ball close to the target.  This may mean that sometimes you just miss the target and hit the ball off the end of the table.  This is still OK.

With training you will start to become more consistent with it.
