How to serve in a paticular way that the ball goes in a different direction each time it bounces ....IS IT POSSIBLE?

Hi Het,

No it is not possible.  The ball can only spin one way.  Work on getting as much spin as you can to start with.

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.

Hit the edge of the table on your side with a shitload of side and topspin, make it bounce sideways on the net or net post, then straight onto the edge on your opponent's side.

 

 

... Your time might be better spent working on a more plausible stroke though.
