Do you know how to perform J.O. Waldner service (use your body to shield your racket movement).

Hi Pakorn,
This isn’t legal any longer. He made sure his body was around enough and then throw the ball close to your body to make the contact and shield it from you opponent.

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.
