How do I do the topspin sidespin serve? Can you make a video on it?

Hi Matias,

We have a comprehensive lesson on this in our Serving Secrets lessons. It will show you how to use several serves to get the topspin sidespin happening.

The basic idea is to brush the ball more on the top of the ball or brush the ball with an upward motion to get the topspin to happen.

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.
