Hey Pingskills can you think of a way to serve which the ball looks like its coming out of the table when its not.

Hi Mohammad,

The main thing is to get that second bounce as close to the end line as you can.  If the ball has topspin it will dip faster than they think but it is then also easier to attack.  Just concentrate on the second bounce length.  Practice this with a bucket of balls and watch where the second bounce is landing.  Do this without anyone at the other end so that you can focus on this.
