Tam Eastwood Asked 8 years ago

Hi alois why do Emmanuel lebbeson and laurens devos do a mini whipping motion before they serve?

"Emmanuel lebbason vs simon gauzy ettc 2016"

"Laurens Devos vs Gaeten Swarbrocken" on youtube

Thanks

Hi Tam,

It just gets their wrist relaxed and into that whipping motion that is required to generate spin on 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.
