Serving
Hey Alois and Jeff,
Hi, I'm a bit of professional paddler.I use "yasaka phantom 009" on my backhand.I learned many serves from your helpful videos, thank you. Can you show and teach me some serves with this kind of rubbers. A video answer could be the best. Thank you.
Regards,
Siddharth

Hi Siddharth,
It is best not to serve too much with long pimples because you can’t generate any spin on the ball.
It is OK as a change up serve to confuse you opponents. Try to make the same action as your other serves. The different reactions of the ball on the long pimples will sometimes be enough to throw your opponent off their return.

Here is an effective serve that you can learn and put into your game. It is a serve that not many players are using so as a variation and something new, this one can be a winner for you.

This was great to know. I have just started messing around with serving with long pimples on my backhand, was finding it difficult unless doing a tomahawk topspin serve which was inconsistent, tending to fly off the end of the table a lot of time or heavy backspin serve, which had to always have heavy backspin or was very easy to loop return.
Glad it helped.
