Serve practice

Serving

when I practice on perfecting my serve, should I dedicate all my practice on one single type of serve at a time until I master it, or should I slowly improve on 4 or 5 serves all at the same time?

Hi Daniel,

I think it is good to work on a few at a time.  It keeps the interest in your service practice.

Each player will be a bit different but that is the way I like to approach it.

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.
