Windshield wiper serve too low

I watched your windshield wiper serve. I am a penhold player and struggle using this serve. 25% of the time I usually get it over the net with barely enough spin. The others keep plummeting into the bottom of the net. How do I fix this and lift the ball up over the net?

Hi Jason,

Try hitting the ball a little earlier when it is higher.  Then hit the ball more into your side of the table to get it to bounce higher.

To generate more spin work on a faster contact but ensure you are getting a fine contact on the ball.  It will take time to get the right contact on the ball and also get the fast action.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
