Quick serve
Serving
Ewan Chapman Asked 13 years ago
I have my good serve up to 40-50 mph but no faster. So how could I get it faster. I'm only 14.

Hi Ewan,
Serving fast isn't very effective because you need to bounce it on your side first. YOu are doing well to get it that fast.
The more important thing is to serve with spin and to place the serve well.
Take a look at this lesson on the Topspin Serve.

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.
