Serving
Chad M. Asked 14 years ago
Hi Guys
I have been trying to get a list together of all the different types of serves that exist in table tennis. From there I was hoping to try each of them and ultimately make better decisions about which work best for me. Half my issue with finding resources for learning serves is that I don't know what I am looking for. Searching table tennis serves brings up the most basic of techniques. Pls help :)

Hi Chad,
There is an endless amount of serves that you can use and try. We have a resource that you can purchase through the website called Serving Secrets Revealed. This goes through a range of serves and shows you in detail how to make them happen.
It als goes through the principles of generating spin which once you get the hang of, you will be bale to experiment more and try new serves out.
Let me know if you need further help on this.
