Short backspin serve
Serving
Aaron Haha Asked 7 years ago
Hi coach,
I'm just starting to learn this kind of serve. My serves are un-spiny and inaccurate.
Do you tackle the ball with your racket flat or something?
Thanks

Hi Aaron,
Yes to get the backspin, have you bat very flat parallel to the floor. The important thing then is the brushing contact. Do it away from a table first to get the feel without the pressure of getting the ball on the table.

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.
