How do you do a fast serve?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Francis,
To get the ball to travel fast on your serve you need to contact the ball quite flat. Get the ball to bounce really close to you on your side of the table. Next think about getting the ball to go as low as possible over the net without touching the net. Finally think about getting the ball to land as close to the end line on your opponent's side as you can.
If you can get these elements into your serve you will start to be able to get a good fast serve.

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.
