Serving
Hi Alois,
I'm Basel and I would like to know how to do Ma Lin's backspin serve. I have seen your previous video but I just don't seem to get the ball do get the backspin. Also, can you please tell me at what angle the bat should be.
Hi Basel,
Have your bat tilted right back, almost flat to the ground and brush right under the bottom of the ball.

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.
