Serving
Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 12 years ago
Hi Coaches,
Much unlike his ex-partners, waldners, simple but confusing serves, perssons serve seem much more complicated and seems to be based on the same deception ma lin tries to use. what exactly is Persson doing on his serve?
thank you

Hi Shripathi,
Persson has a fairly normal serve I think compared to Waldner. He uses a variety of serves including pendulum, reverse and backhand serves.
He follows the basics of serving by generating a lot fo spin by brushing the ball on contact of all of his serves.

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.
