What type of serve is the best

John Tan Asked 9 years ago

Hi coaches,

I have been practising table tennis lately and I did not no what type of serve is suitable for me when playing against a stronger player. So, with that, what type of serves do you recommend for a intermediate player.

Hope you have a easy time answering my question. See you for now!

Hi John,

The most important thing to focus on with your serving against a stronger player is to get the ball short.  That means that it will bounce twice on their side of the table.  This will make it more difficult for them to attack the serve.
