Hi Pingskills, i saw your video on how to serve fast and long. I just want to Know how to twist your hand while doing the serve. Could you do a video reponse if possible? Thanks!

Hi Ethan,
The grip is the modified shakehand grip. Take the 3 fingers from around your handle and put them in a fist behind your handle. This will allow you to use your wrist better for the serve.
We also show this in our Serving Secrets lessons on our site which is available through the Premium membership.

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.
