Serving practice

Thomas McCann Asked 15 years ago

What is the best way to practice serving on your own? Should i be using targets?

Hi Thomas,

Firstly get as many balls as you can.  50 is great but anything more than 10 is good.

Then set up your targets in a position that you are trying to serve to.  Make sure these areas are safe areas to serve to.  Either short or very long.  Take a look at the lesson on Serve Placement to make sure you are practicing serving to good positions. 

You should try to do some serving practice each time you practice.  It is probably the most important stroke of Table Tennis.
