Serving with a different grip
Serving
Arnab Ghosh Asked 14 years ago
First of all, I would like to thank you for showing patience and answering my questions.
A lot of players I have seen, while they serve they change the way they hold their bat in order to apply more spin. Would you like to advice the same?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Arnab.

HI Arnab,
Yes it is possible to adjust your gip on the serve especially the pendulum serve.
To do this just take the last three fingers away from the handle. This then allows you to use your wrist more for this serve. In our DVD Serving Secrets Revealed DVD we are able to show you this in great detail.

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.
