Hi Alois and Jeff,
I saw a video about ma lin s serve in detail and i noticed that when his racket contacts with the ball he immediately takes his racket up.why is he doing it?
Thanks,
NICK

Hi Nick,
He uses a flicking action. This gets the bat travelling fast. It also helps him with his recovery for he next ball.

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.
