Hi Jack,
The key is to keep your serve short and low. By short I mean getting it to bounce close to the net on the other side and if they were to leave it, the ball should bounce at least twice on the other side.
This is a really difficult ball for them to attack and will set up opportunities to make the first attack yourself.
Try to purchase a copy of Serving Secrets Revealed DVD. This will give you a lot of information and helpful tips on improving your serve.

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.
