el servicio se puede efectuar de manera corta que termine cerca de la net?
Can the serve be made short so that it terminates near the net?

Hi Miguel,
You are allowed to do that. As long as this serve is also low, this is a good serve because it will be short and make it more difficult for your opponent to attack.
It is not easy to make the Wiper serve short. To make it short you need to get under the ball by tilting your bat right back to generate the backspin.

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.
