Hi Mark,

This is something that we cover in our Serving Secrets DVD.

If the ball is going too high, try contacting the ball when it is lower.  This will get the ball bouncing lower as well.  To get ore spin, relax your wrist and let it flick through on contact.

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.
