Hi Sam,

To be able to do a fast serve you need to contact the ball quite flat.  Then get the ball to bounce close to you on your side of the table and really low over the net.   Don't be afraid to hit the ball long when you are training your serve.

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.
