Hi Arun,

This one is easy.  Whichever one your opponent doesn't like.  But in general at the higher level you need to learn to serve with spin.  It is impossible to serve the ball fast enough to consistently trouble a better level player. 

Work on those spin serve!!

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.
