How can i serve a really spinny serve? so that my oponent cannot really get a spin directly to my table's side because i cannot really block the spin direct and low.

Hi Karl,

It is best to serve the ball short to stop them from making a spin back to you that is difficult to block.  Even if it doesn't have as much spin as long as it is short it will be better for you.

If your serve goes long, it will allow them to make a topspin.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
