Serve

Hello PingSkills,

How to make a spinny serve after which the ball would be low, then he hit the opponent racket and he would go down to his side of the table (some says that the ball died)? How to make a died ball serve?

Sorry for my english, I don't know how to describe this serve.

Thank You for answer

Hi Tom,

To do this you need to put backspin on the ball.

To get backspin you need to brush the ball with your bat starting above the contact point and finishing below the contact point.  This will get the ball to rotate backwards and give you the backspin on the ball.
