Hi Rodrigo,

With both those types of rubbers you can't generate much spin so it is more about how well you place the ball.

Think about placing the serves to a place on the table that your opponent is going to find difficult.  It may be forehand or the backhand side, or short, or long and fast on the table.

Hello Coach, I use inverted rubber for my FH; short pip for my BH.  Can i use BH serve with my short pips?

Rodrigo,I think you should try to stick to ONE bat. Frequent changing bats ruins your own technique and consistency.
Remember that the bat plays only as good as its wielder.

For the services,maybe you should try to perform standard "spinny motion",as if you were using a normal rubber. You can expect some more errors then.
If serving with pips,especially longpips,take extra care about HEIGHT of the serve-that can be reason why your opponents flip it.
