Hi Jasper,

The serve shows a ball that after bouncing on both sides has backspin and spins directly back into the net. A heavy Ghost serve.

It looks difficult to return but you will find that because the ball has so much height and travels so slowly, it will be easy for the returner to hit the ball off the bounce and hit it back effectively.

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.
