Power Serve

Serving

Hi guys,

I'm wondering why you don't see many people go for the point from the serve by hitting a powerful shot, like with tennis you have Andy Roddick who is known for their big serve. Can you suggest why this is, or if you have a serve in your repertoire that you can show us that can do this

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,

In Table Tennis you have to bounce the ball on your side of the table first so that is why you can't serve very fast and players focus on spin rather than speed when serving.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
