I don't have much variation of serve, I want to learn a long serve with high backspin because I have plenty of short backspin serves but not a single long one.

Hi Sohan,

The key is to get the ball to bounce close to you on your side of the table.  Hit the ball quite flat with a little bit of backspin.  The combination of speed and flatness will make it feel like a lot of backspin to your opponent.  It is difficult to generate a lot of backspin because the ball will tend to float off the end of the table with too much backspin and speed.

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.
