Hi Umar,

Try and follow the advice in Six Steps to a Better Table Tennis Serve. Remember that it takes time to develop a good serve so keep working at it and you will make progress.

It is always a good idea to watch players that are better than you and figure out how they do things. If most people you are playing against have a better serve then try and emulate some of their serves. Get a bucket of balls and simply practice serving. Do hundreds of serves. This is the best way to improve.

Brett Clarke who is the current Australian coach was Australia's best server when he was a player. He developed this through countless hours at the Albert Park Table Tennis centre practicing his serve.
