I am learning table tennis from 6 years so I want to know how to do an uncounterable serve. Can you please help me out?

Hi Ganesh,
As a Table Tennis table is only 5 foot wide, it is hard to serve an ace and probably not something you should be trying to do. In Table Tennis the best servers gain an advantage by varying their speed, spin and placement. Work on subtle variations of each to try and deceive your opponent. We talk about this in our DVD Serving Secrets Revealed.

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.
