Serving
hi coaches,
I have noticed the serve of China's new rising star-Song Hongyuan
As you examine his serve he acts as if he doesn't use his wrist.
Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86PQ58pWQXI
Thank you,

Hi Judah,
He does use his wrist a lot. It moves very fast though so it is hard to see.
To get a lot of spin you just have to use your wrist.
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.
