How can i get enough backspin to do the ma lin serve?

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi Trey,

It is a matter of brushing under the ball and also not giving the ball too much forward momentum so that it quickly comes back towards you.

Take a look at our previous Ask the Coach video response to How to Execute the Ma Lin Serve.

Hi Harsh,

Try to get the fine contact away from the table on the floor to make sure you are getting the right contact on the ball. Then you can go onto the table and try the same.
