How can we serve a spinning or a chopping ball.

Hi Sonam,
To get spin you need to brush the ball on contact. We have a section on this topic as part of our Premium lessons. Take a look at what is available in our Serving Secrets section.

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.
