Improving my serve

Training

Dear PingSkills,

I realise my serve is usually more a liability than asset as it lacks spin and sometimes is too high. Usually, I only practice rallies during practice sessions and we play matches where we have a chance to serve. Do you have any tips on how I can continue to develop my serve to something useful for the game?

Regards,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Practising your serve is key.  I would start to introduce a serve into most drills that you do.  You can start any drill that you do during your practice session with a serve, return of serve and an opening topspin.

This is a key area of training that links to your matches.

#33 - Defending with the Block

One thing you can be sure of is that every top player will be able to keep the ball on the table with a solid block when under pressure. It seems that this is a pre-requisite to becoming a good player. That's why in this training session we focus on improving your block. If you can absorb your opponent's attack you will be in a good position to win a match against them.
