He contacts the ball on the side and makes it curve fast and low on the table.
When i try it, i cant always properly contact the ball, and when i do, it usually doesnt have much forward momentum, and the serve is slow, high and doest curve much. Help!!!

Hi Sally,
Sounds like you are working on your serves a bit which is great.
You just need to keep focusing on brushing the ball on the side. It will take a lot of effort and time to get it right. The contact is important.
