Hi Pingskills. Recently I've a problem with my backspin serve. It bounce the second time at the another table and it goes sideways instead of stop going forward. How can I improve that?

Hi Xaius,

Think about the angle of your racket when you are contacting the ball.  You will find that the angle is changing slightly.  Usually it is because players drop the end of the racket lower.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.

Ohhh, I've tried by raising the end of the racket and it works!
