Reverse serve variation

Simon Lewis Asked 12 years ago

Hi Pingskills,

I recently managed to master the action of the reverse serve. However, I am interested to know what variation you can get off the serve? I know how to get the different types of spin, brush up for topspin, down for backspin etc.. but are these possible off the reverse serve action?

Thanks

Hi Simon,

You can get variations of spin with the reverse serve. You can get sidespin with topspin or backspin. The backspin variation can be more difficult because it is hard to get under the ball. With practice it is possible.

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.
