How to serve with no table? my tournament is starting in three days and i need to train serve but i have no normal table home. Have you any ideas you can share?

Hi Felix,
It is not ideal just before a tournament but to get the feel of the contact you can hit the ball onto the floor and see how much spin you are getting by seeing the flight and curve of the ball once it hits the floor.
Close to a tournament it is definitely better to be serving on a table to get the real feel of where the ball is going.

Disguising Spin
To confuse your opponent you need to produce variations in spin. Just by mixing up heavy backspin and light backspin, you make it really difficult for your opponent to control the ball. In this master class we discuss the best ways to achieve this.

Thx for the answer.
it was my first tournament and i come 12th and it teach me its ok to lose.

That is a good point. Jeff did an interview once with Richard Leea former New Zealand champion and one of his bits of advice is that players give up too early.
