Serving
Jana K Asked 13 years ago
Is it better to practice one serve until I can use it effectively and consistently, and then move on to another, or to mix it up and develop a few kinds of serve at once?

Hi Jana,
I think it Is Ok to work on a few serves at a time. This will help your service practice time to go quicker. It is a bit boring practicing one serve for too long.

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.
