Hi, my name is Zul from Malaysia. I've been playing a lot of doubles lately, I wonder what is the best serve for playing doubles and how to execute it perfectly, thanks in advance. :)

Hi Zul,
You really need to serve the ball short and near the middle line so that it isn't easy for the receiver to attack. Since they only have half the table to cover if you serve long they will be able to attack.
