Hi Alois
when playing in competition, standing around waiting for your next match is a part of the challenge. Just wondering, when waiting around in the cold for extended periods of time, is it good to maintain low-level activity to keep warm (at the risk of tiring yourself out if the wait turns out to be longer than anticipated), or just do a quick 5min cardiovascular warmup when your name is called?

Hi Ji-Soo,
Hopefully this is answered in the recently posted Blog What to Expect at a Tournament".
Thaks for your question.
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.
