Serving problem
Serving
David Adams Unknown Asked 16 years ago
Hi. I recently purchased your Serving Secrets Dvd and am working on the pendulum serve for back and side spin. I'm getting the spin, but almost all the balls are going into or topping the net. Is there a way to correct this? Great dvd, by the way. Thanks.

Hi David,
This is a common problem when you start to do this serve.
Try hitting the ball from a little higher and hitting the ball more into the table close to your end line. If you get the ball to bounce on your side too close to the net it hasn't got time to get up and clear the net.
Hope this helps.

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.
