Hi Felix,

It is not ideal just before a tournament but to get the feel of the contact you can hit the ball onto the floor and see how much spin you are getting by seeing the flight and curve of the ball once it hits the floor.

Close to a tournament it is definitely better to be serving on a table to get the real feel of where the ball is going.

That is a good point.  Jeff did an interview once with Richard Leea former New Zealand champion and one of his bits of advice is that players give up too early.
