How to increase the speed of a serve?

Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago

Hi Ketki,

You should try to contact the ball flatter and hit through the contact a bit more. This will get the ball travelling faster.

Make sure the first bounce is close to you on your side of the table. Aim to get the ball low over the net and really deep on the other side of the table as well.
