Serving grip

david iluz Asked 10 years ago

Hi Alois

When i started playing table tennis my coach told me to hold the bat differently when i am serving, but in my last competition i felt that i didn’t manage to change the grip on the bat fast enough after i am serving, so when my oponnent returns my serve i don't feel comfartable and it damages my game.

I served this way for many years so changing the way i'm serving will be like starting to learn table tennis all over again. So what can i do about that?

Hi David,

It is worth spending the time to change this area of your game.  In training, just practice the changing form the serve to the next ball then stop the rally.  Repeat this many times in 10 minutes or so each training session you have.  You will soon find a change that you will be able to maintain in your game.
