Which type of serve is best against a opponent with good spin skills
Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago
Hi Shikhar,
It depends what type of spins they are good at. If they are good at making topspin then it us best to serve short so they don’t get a swing at the ball. If they are good at pushing with spin then it may be better to serve the ball long and fast so it makes it harder for them to control the 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.
