Serving Position
Serving
Abhinav Raje Asked 17 years ago
Why do right handed players prefer serving from left side of the table? Does it matter if the other player is right handed or left handed?

Hi Abhinav,
The main reason they serve from the backhand corner is that when they complete the serve the turn and are in a good position for the next ball.
Don't forget though, try different things out. Try serving from the other side and see if it works for you against different opponents.
