How to do a fast serve

Serving

I've been looking at table tennis games played by timo boll, and many others, and i realise that all the professionals do this serve where they throw the ball high up and flick the bat. I've been trying to execute the serve, any ideas? 

thanks

Hi Joey,

To make this serve fast, you need to hit through the ball a little flatter.  Get it to bounce close to you on your side of the table and also low over the net.

High Toss Serve

The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.
