service deception
Serving
Arun Dev Asked 13 years ago
which type of service would be needed for confusing or making opponent hard to return(my meaning is not for hard serve, for making opponent to confuse by some actions etc. as I have often seen).

Hi Arun,
The main thing is to have similar looking serves that produce different spins and placement.
Any serve is returnable if the other person knows what spin is on it and where the serve is going.
Aim to have the same starting position and similar swing. At the contact point you can make subtle changes to produce different serves.

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.
