Pista Burkett Asked 5 years ago
hi there, enjoyed your vids on intermediate serves. question. should these serves all be done with "deception" in mind? your vid on backspin and top spin pendulum...the motion should look pretty close to the same right? did i miss this in the videos? thanks.

Hi Steve,
Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Deception can come after the basic. We do have a Premium tutorial on Service Disguise which covers this area but I think in the tutorials you have watched we really just focus on getting the individual serves right.

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.
