Serving
How do I do a serve with heavy sidespin?
Hi Max,
Firstly you need to generate plenty of spin. To do this you need a fast brushing contact. This means you need to swing your bat fast and only just brush the ball so you get it to spin a lot rather than hitting it flat and fast.
To generate the sidespin, you need to make this fast brushing contact on the side of the ball. This will get the ball spinning sideways!
The pendulum serve is the most popular serve in all of Table Tennis. In this lesson we teach you the important principles and how to vary the serve between backspin, sidespin and topspin.
