do you have any tactics?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dennis,
To get a good topspin serve you need to brush up the back of the ball. For a Pendulum topspin serve you should hit the ball in the later part of your swing as the bat is coming up.
We have a lesson on this in our Serving Secrets section of the site.

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.
