How can you return Timo Boll serve

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi Carlos,

He has a lot of very good serves. The main thing is to be able to face them often so that you get used to the spin and direction and you start to recognise cues. He is able to generate a lot of different types of spins with similar action. This is one of the reasons that he is such a top class player.

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.
