tom foster Asked 14 years ago
hi
you know when you serve you loosen you grip , my rubber has a mark there and on where my forefinger goes. my coach says that i hold my bat too tight and he has never had that problem, but when i serve i try to hold it as loose as i can and of i hold it any looser my bats going to fly out of my hand. do you have marks on your rubbers or do i hold it too tight
thanks:)

Hi Jimmy,
If there are marks on the rubber just from the serving hold it is probably OK depending on how old your rubber is.
Even though you are holding the fingers loosely, you have quite a good hold where your knuckle and thumb are holding on to the bat. This could cause enough friction to wear the rubber down after a while.

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.
