I am trying to master the ghost serve but having trouble getting it over the net. And even when I do there is almost no spin on it. Any advice?

Hi Harrison,

Take a look at their tutorial on Ma Lin Ghost Serve Bat Angle and see if that helps.

I find the bat angle is a crucial part of getting enough backspin to get the ball to come back to you.
