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.
