Focus of Attention on Serve
Serving
Robert Kumza Asked 7 years ago
Where do you focus your attention on the serve? Do you focus on where you want the ball to bounce first, or do you focus on where you want the ball to land? When I focus on where I want the ball to land, I often miss my first bounce spot and drive the ball to close to or into the net.

Hi Robert,
You can do either in training depending on what you want to change. If you are finding that the first bounce is not in the right position then focus on this in particular.
In a match situation, then just focus on the ball and where you are aiming the serve and what type of spin you are wanting to generate.

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.
