Greetings,
What is the purpose of putting spin in serving? I'd be glad to hear your opinion thanks

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.

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.
