Improving my serve

Training

Kenneth Tham Asked 3 years ago

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.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
