Asuka Sakai Fast Serve
Serving
Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago
Hi Jerome,
With the fast serve you need to hit the ball with a lot of wrist and get your bat travelling as fast as possible on contact. I don't think I could serve that fast at all.
The problem with a serve like that at the top level is that it is easy enough to read and attack back.

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.
