Serving
vangeo datan Asked 15 years ago
how do you do those fast services that land deep on the other side of the table?
like the one demonstrated in "Placement of the Serve" video.

Hi Vangeo,
To do that fast serve you need to hit the ball flat and get it to bounce close to you on your side of the table.
Also concentrate on keeping the ball really low. The lower and faster you can hit it the more effective it will be.
Remember like everything else, it is about getting out there and hitting it a lot of times before it gets better.

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.
