Serving
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.

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.
