Serve spin
Serving
Clement Clement Asked 6 years ago
I often do a pendulum serve and think that ive put spin in it, but the ball ends up with no spin, what did i do wrong?

Hi Clement,
It may be the contact you are getting on the ball. Even if the action is good, the contact is all important to generating the spin.
You should focus on getting a more brushing action.
The other thing to think about is where on your bat you are hitting the ball. Try to contact it lower, further away front he handle which is the part of the bat that is moving faster and therefore will enable you to generate more spin.

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.
