Why do right handed players prefer serving from left side of the table? Does it matter if the other player is right handed or left handed?

Hi Abhinav,

The main reason they serve from the backhand corner is that when they complete the serve the turn and are in a good position for the next ball.

Don't forget though, try different things out.  Try serving from the other side and see if it works for you against different opponents.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
