Service that won't get attacked

Serving

Hi Alois,  

I noticed that when I've been playing, I often get flicked, or topspinned right off my serve. I was wondering if you could recommend a couple of serves that won't get attacked easily, but aren't as hard to perform as the Ma Lin serve.   

Thanks in Advance, Devin

Hi Devin,

Any serve that you do can be made more effective by keeping the ball lower and shorter on the table.  This only comes with hours and hours of practice on the serves.

Stay with the serve you are doing and focus on getting it better.
