Half long backspin serve

Hi Alois,

I want to ask you if there is a trick to learn the backspin serve where the second bounce is near the edge of the table or misses it with a little or it is only about hours practising and feeling it on my own

Hi Sasho,

Once you get the feel for getting the backspin then it is a matter of time on the table to get the bounce just right.

I like to ficus on the result here.  Watch the ball carefully as to where it is bouncing.  YOu don't need to deliberately make too many technical changes. As you watch the result you will naturally make changes to where you hit the ball.  It sounds simple but it is the best way to improve this sort of skill.
