Two days back i played a match. The opponent hit all the balls that i served.I tried spin serve and chop serve but nothing worked.
So let me know what should i serve to this kind of opponents?

Hi Vijay.
Keep trying the chop serve but you may need to focus on getting them shorter and lower. With more practice you will get it to a stage where you will be able to keep them from attacking.

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.

Thank you for replying Alois.But i want to know if there are other ways of chop service other than the normal one we do, something that can confuse the opponent whether it is a spin serve or chop serve.If yes pls upload the video of the serve.
Hi Vijay,
We have a section dedicated to this in our Premium lessons on the Serving Secrets. In there we show you different types of serves that you can do to confuse your opponents and set up the point for you.
