LeangHeng IT Asked 13 years ago
Hi coach, I wanna plan third ball attack with loop kill by using ghost serve. However, I feel very surprised when my opponent short push back. How could I use this serve effectively and gurantee that my opponent would long push to where I want???

Hi LeangHeng,
The Ghost serve is not used by many players in a real match situation because of this. It is a good party trick but not that effective in a match.
With the ghost serve the ball travels very slowly making it easy for your opponent to return the ball back to you short. You are better to do a faster short backspin serve that will be harder for them to control back to you short.

Thank you coach for your advice... I will try to mix the serves.
For a faster short backspin serve, it is slow for heavy short backspin ball, right??? What do you refer to for fast (faster)??? The movement, the contact, or the speed of the ball???
