Serving
Douglas Hill Asked 14 years ago
Could you outline some of the considerations that are different when serving in doubles than in singles? I'm a right hander.

Hi Douglas,
You can think about serving more to the middle so that it doesn't go off the side of the table. If it goes off the side it can be attacked.
Secondly think about keeping the ball short with your serve. Because the receiver only has to look after half the table you should make sure it is short otherwise it is too easy to attack.
