Why is my spin not working
Serving
Gonzalo Martinez Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois and Co.,
When I play with my friends I try to do the spin serve, only that sometimes it varies and I am hiting it the same way. Sometimes it returns back to the net, sometimes its spins to le left, and to the right. And sometimes it just becomes a normal serve. Can you help me with my problem?
Thanks!

Hi Gonzalo,
This is because the contact requires is a very fine contact. That means it will take a lot of practice to get it right all the time. The best players in the world still practice their serving regularly because it is such a difficult skill to master and maintain.
Try to spends some more of your practice time on serving. It may take a while, but it will get better.

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.
