Hi Popo,

Serving fast doesn't give you enough of an advantage because your opponent doesn't have much area to cover.  So spin is the crucial element to be able to vary to gain an advantage.

Placement is also something that you can vary, but spin is the number one.

Variation of Placement

The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.
