Service that won't get attacked
Serving
Devin Hirsch Asked 9 years ago
Hi Alois,
I noticed that when I've been playing, I often get flicked, or topspinned right off my serve. I was wondering if you could recommend a couple of serves that won't get attacked easily, but aren't as hard to perform as the Ma Lin serve.
Thanks in Advance, Devin

Hi Devin,
Any serve that you do can be made more effective by keeping the ball lower and shorter on the table. This only comes with hours and hours of practice on the serves.
Stay with the serve you are doing and focus on getting it better.

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.
