What is the best serving technique?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Rodyin.
Eventually it is to be able to serve with spin and place the ball where you want it.
Initially focus on getting the ball low and to a good position. then think about generating some spin on the ball by brushing the ball on contact with the ball.
Then you can start to develop some specific serves like the Pendulum serve that we show in our Serving Secrets Introduction.
We have a DVD and Course dedicated to this. Take a look at the Serving Secrets Course which is available if you join as a Premium Member. You can also purchase as a DVD or part of a Super Pack of DVDs through our Table Tennis DVDs Runout Sale.
