when i hit the ball on the ghost serve it usually goes over the my side of the table. but if it makes it on the table it usually hits the net.however it does the spin .i just want to know how to do the serve more consistent

Hi Alex,

The easy answer is that you just need to do it more and practice it more.

You will find that the ghost serve is not necessarily that effective in a match because it may travel too slowly.  It is just a serve with a lot of backspin that moves slowly enough so that the forward momentum is overcome by the spin on the ball.

Variation of Placement

The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.
