how to do a side spin serve easily
Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago
Hi Jayesh,
To do a sidespin serve you can brush the ball on either the side of the ball going forwards or you can brush it at the back of the ball going sideways.
The idea is to get the ball spinning on its vertical axis.
It doesn't matter which way you do this but just experiment as much as you can and see if you can get it to happen. You can even do this away from the table. Try to get the ball to curve on the floor and in the air. If you can do this you are getting sidespin on the ball. Then you can transfer this skill to the table.
In our DVD Serving Secrets Revealed we go through in great detail how to perform all of this and more. You can purchase a copy through our website either for download or we can post the DVD out to anywhere in the world.
