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.
Playing forehand and backhand strokes individually in practice is an important step in your development but to use them effectively in a game situation you must be able to switch between them. This sounds like a simple step but it's something you must practice. Lesson 10 focuses on ensuring you can quickly switch between your backhand and forehand table tennis strokes.
