Hi Yazid,

Usually it is the slower serve with spin that is close to the net.  This makes it more difficult for your opponent to attack the ball.  No matter how fast you serve it is still possible for them to attack as the table isn’t very wide and you have to bounce the ball on your side first which limits the amount of speed that you can get on the ball.
