Raise the one leg - service

Serving

Il Ill Asked 8 years ago

Master Rosario,

Why the pro players raise the one leg in the air before to serve with backhand ?

Example : 2:59 min - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3S0I2kVJc8

Thank you in advance.

Hi Il,

I think most of the time this is a matter of balance and to get moving for the next 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.
