Serve low and short or maximum spin
Serving
Richard Zuccaro Sr Asked 7 years ago
When serving is it more important to keep the ball low and two bounces or higher with more spin?

Hi Richard,
It depends on the player you are serving to but for me in general keeping it short and low is more important than spin initially. Especially if you are playing against a good player even if you serve with a whole lot of spin but the serve goes long or high, they will be able to attack it.

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.
