Hi coach,
My forehand pendulum serve has no speed and power. How can I increase speed and power on my serve?
Thanks,
Somchai

Hi Somchai,
It is more important to get spin rather than speed and power. To get the ball travelling faster you can contact the ball flatter. Get the ball to bounce close to you on your side of the table.

Thanks. How can I make my serve spinier ?

To get more spin, you can brush the ball finely. The best way to get the contact right is away from the table. Just see if you can make the ball spin around on the floor. Then you can move to the table and see if you can get the same contact and get the ball on the table.
