Serving position on the table
Serving
Rahul Mandrekar Asked 7 years ago
Hello,
We have always seen players serving from one corner of the table. Right handed players serving from the back hand or left hand side of the table. What is the reason for this?
Appreciate your response.
regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Most players serve from their backhand corner because the momentum of their service action then moves them into a good central position. As they hit the ball they move into position for the rest of the rally.
Take a look at the tutorial on Ready Position After Pendulum Serve.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
