How to do a fast serve
Serving
Joey Tang Asked 8 years ago
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.

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.
