Sidespin-topspin serve with spin and kick

Serving

Dariusz Rypień Asked 2 years ago

Hello guys,

I've been recently experimenting with side-topspin serve. I want to maximise my spin. Will quicker body movement and quicker acceleration from the wrist help me to achieve this effect?

Hi Dariusz,

The main thing will be the quicker wrist action that will get you more spin. The body helps a little but the wrist moves much faster.

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.
