Hi Jacob,
You can get any if the serves to bounce twice. The key is to get the ball quite close to you on your side of the table. Put a target on the table where you want the ball to land on the other side and practice your serving. A finer contact will get the ball shorter. This applies to all types of serves.
Also take a look what is on offer on our Serving Secrets lessons.

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.
