Improving my serve

Training

Dear PingSkills,

I realise my serve is usually more a liability than asset as it lacks spin and sometimes is too high. Usually, I only practice rallies during practice sessions and we play matches where we have a chance to serve. Do you have any tips on how I can continue to develop my serve to something useful for the game?

Regards,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Practising your serve is key.  I would start to introduce a serve into most drills that you do.  You can start any drill that you do during your practice session with a serve, return of serve and an opening topspin.

This is a key area of training that links to your matches.

Do you want to win games? If so you must keep practicing your short push return of serve. This is one of the most critical shots in Table Tennis. The ability to execute this shot well will be the difference between you being an average player and a great player. It is that important. Make sure you go out and follow this session so that your short push becomes your secret weapon.
