Hi Muhamad,

During your swing try to watch the ball as closely as possible.  It is difficult to watch the actual contact on the ball because the ball is so close to you.

Try to watch it as closely as you can but don't worry if you are not seeing the contact at first.  With some training you may be able to watch the ball all the way to the bat.

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.
