Serving
When I make accidentally a let serve touching the net, should I make the same serve again or make another serve?
Hi Kaustubh,
If you think the serve is going to be effective, then try it again. I often see players trying a serve that is going to be really effective and serving a let. They then change serves and often forget about the serve for the rest of the match.
When you serve the let, see if the player looks like they are comfortable with it or not.
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.
