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.
