Hi Alois and Pingskills
i saw a lot of professionals and everybody has a particular service, that is a sidespin-backspin serve. Everybody does that service at least one time in a match (ma long, xu xin, wang liqin, jun mizutani, jan ove waldner, even you Alois, in the match vs Italy) and i want to know how to do this service, which is the moment of the contact, etc.
Please help
Thanks

Hi Cristh,
You are right, this is a popular serve because it is difficult for the receiver to attack if executed well.
We cover this serve in detail in the Serving Secrets lessons.

Hi Alois and Pingskills
wich effect is more important in this service?? the sidespin or the backspin?? or both in balance??
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 10 years ago
Mainly the backspin because that makes it difficult to attack. The sidespin adds some difficulty.
