Serving
Hi Coach Alois/Jeff
I am a beginner and i want to practice a better serve to become harder to receive. I am using a shakehand grip. I am thinking which one will i practice, the backspin serve or the sidespin serve?
Hi Elmark,
I think the sidespin is easier to learn to start with but backspin will be more effective.
Try both in your training. The principle is the same. You need to brush the ball on contact to get the spin on the ball.
The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.
