Is there a tough serve to put to the opponent back hand. That he should not to attempt, if at all attempt that should drop out.

Hi Aravind,
With Table Tennis, the key to a good serve is variation. It is not realistic however, to expect to be able to deliver an unreturnable serve every time when playing someone of a similar standard to yourself.
If you are interested in improving your serve then purchase a copy of Serving Secrets Revealed. From this DVD you'll learn about backspin, topspin and sidespin serves. Alois will teach you a range of serves including the pendulum and reverse pendulum serve. We'll tell you the best methods for practicing your serve and discuss how you can use spin, speed and placement to confuse your opponent and deliver devastating serves.
Good luck and remember that it takes practice to 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.
