Topspin serve
Serving
Abhinav Basu Asked 11 years ago
Hi, in a ask the coach video, you have said that don't use a plain topspin serve but while in any match I sometimes use backhand topspin serve after different spin serves and my opponents hit the ball out of the table and I get a point. So why to not use the topspin serve with right placement.

Hi Abhinav,
It is OK to use it at the level you are at at the moment. It is important though that you don’t develop into this habit because as you play at a slightly higher level, your opponents will be able to attack this too easily and then you will be on the defensive. You will see that none of the top players do a plain topspin serve.

The Float Serve
The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
