As iam a basic table tennis player I've watched many games the service action you are doing is all same but the ball have many variation in spin like backspin, topspin etc.  So how you are able to implement all this spin services with the same action?  and give me some techniques to improve service action.

Hi Daniel,

This is a key part of developing your serves.

First it is important to develop the ability to generate a lot of spin on the ball.  Then develop the ability to generate a different spin.  Thirdly you then need to have a similar action for both of these serves.  If you can have a similar start and finish position then you will start to have  serve that will be deceptive to your opponent.

Take a look through what is available in our Serving Secrets section.  In there yo will find a whole lot of tutorial that will help you develop from the basic through to having advanced serves with deception.

You basically have to ways to make different spins in the same motion: semi circular movements and opposing movements (where one of them is fake)
