Hi Antowone,

When you are wanting to improve your fast serve firstly work on how fast you can hit the ball rather than trying to get the ball on the table.

Put a target on the floor about a meter behind the table and try to get the ball to hit that target.  This will allow you freedom to hit the ball fast.  Then put a string up over the net like w show you in the tutorial on .  Now try to get the ball under the string and still hit the target.  Finally put a target on the table near the far end line.  Now aim to hit the target while still keeping the ball under the string.

If you can get through these steps you will start to develop a fast serve.

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.
