Ghost serve problems
Serving
Salaar Ali Assad Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois ,
I am having difficulties in executing the ghost serve. The thing is every time i practice it it ends up as side spin and not back spin. I try to get the racket under the ball but it still happens. Please can you help me ,i would be very grateful if you could.

Hi Salaar Ali,
Try to experiment with your wrist. Even try to get the ball curving the other way. You may get a chance to video yourself even if it is on your phone to see what you are doing on the contact.
Push your wrist up more to get the ball to curve the other way. Exaggerate it to make sure the ball i snot curving away. Experimentation is the best way to learn this.

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.
