BH serve
Serving
Mladen Vunderl Asked 15 years ago
I serve 90% from middle of table with BH, because I have Chinese tacky rubber (Friendship Transcend Higher 1.8). How I can get most backspin when I serve short to opponents FH? Should I contact the ball under 45 degrees, horizontal with table or go with blade around the ball ? Is it better to use lower or upper side of blade ? Croatian national team player advised my that I, after first contact the ball, must quickly pull hand back to reduce speed of ball.

Hi Mladen,
You need to get right under the ball for more backspin.The flick of the wrist and fine contact are what give you the spin and short serve. The flick back are a result of the loose wrist and flicking action of the wrist and then the wrist coming back to its natural position.

Variation of Speed
Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
