how to serve a side spin ball

Alois Rosario Answered 16 years ago

Hi,

The basic idea for serving sidespin is to brush the ball so that it rotates sideways or on its axis going from top to bottom.

PingSkills has produced a DVD called Serving Secrets Revealed that explains this whole concept and much more in great detail.

Get yourself a copy, I am sure it will help you with your serving.

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.
