Percentage of missed serves to shoot for
Serving
steve king Asked 8 years ago
Coaches,
In tennis, a small number of double faults is acceptable and a player who rarely double faults is probably not being aggressive enough with power or placement. I am wondering if there is any parallel thinking in table tennis? If so, should I push my serve to the point where I miss occasionally, or should the server be more conservative since to miss is loss a point?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I think in a match you should aim for zero faults. It gets too expensive to lose a point with a fault.
In training is where you can push your limits and see what is possible.

Variation of Spin
Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
