Is the backhand deep forehand sidespin serve a good one
Serving

At times i put a backhand sidespin serve which goes deep to the forehand of the opponent and some players are able and some are not able to attack on it so is it a good way to play this serve ?

Hi Sahil,
You need to pick who you do the long serves to. If they have strong forehand strokes then serving shirt is probably better.
You should use it against players who don't have a scary forehand.

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.

It's a good serve (better than long to the backhand), as long as you use it as a variation.
