Mizutani and Ma Lin's Ghost Serve

Serving

Xariuz Cruz Asked 11 years ago

Hi Pingskills! I found that Mizutani and Ma Lin does the same when doing the ghost serve, they both tossed the ball very high. Is it really necessary to toss a ball that high to make a ghost serve?

Hi Xariuz,

You don't need to toss the ball high. It is just a variation that you can use. It does help to get more spin on the ball.

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.
