Hello, how do you serve with a combination of sidespin and backspin or sidespin and topspin.thank you

Hi Jordan,

This is about the type of contact you make with the ball. By brushing across the ball you get sidespin. So then if you brush across and down on an angle you will get sidespin and backspin. If you go across and up you will get topspin.

Take a look at the video on Learning To Spin which covers this area as well. I often find that thinking about the path of the ball that you are looking for will help you to get the contact right.

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.
