Ghost serve - is it my point
Serving
Thomas Parker Asked 12 years ago
Ok, so lately I have been learning the MaLin ghost serve from you guys, I have it down pretty well and I am able to make a serve where it bounces on my side and then the opponents side then bounces back over the net onto my side again. Without the opponent having a chance to touch it. Would this be legal if it is would I have to hit it again because the last bounce was on my side or how would I go about attacking it back. Thanks again Alois.

Hi Thomas,
Well done on learning the serve. YOu must have spent some good quality time working on it.
The serve is legal and if your opponent doesn't touch it, you win the point if it lands back on your side. You don't have to worry about hitting it back again.

The Float Serve
The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.

about the ma lin serve, i've some problome on it
sometimes i can do it very good and sometime when i do it the ball only bounce on my side and not bounce on the opponent side, and also sometimes the ball is out
maybe the problome is the contact of the bat, but i've do at the contact just like the video said but it's still fail...
so, can you please tell me how to do it clearly ? just like how much power to hit it, where's the contact, etc
anyway, when i search on youtube to learn ma lin serve, his way is different with what pingskills do
this's it...

When I figured it out I kept the ball close to me when I hit it, I used to have the same problem but kind of scoop it up close to you by bringing the bat almost up into your armpit. Hope that helps, im in no way an expert
