Hi Daryl,
Think about hitting the ball flat behind the ball. Get the first bounce close to you on your side of the table and as low as possible over the net. When you are practicing it don't be worried about the ball going too long. You need to hit a few longer than the table to get the feel for the range of the table.
Playing it cross court will give you a bit more table to play with as well.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
