Serving
Two reasons for this question, first of all, to share the folliwing video, which i think is a testiment to the greatness of waldner and i know how much you yourself admire him. some of the points literally had me laughing with awe and admiration.
secondly, i would like to know how to successfully pull of the fast down the line serve which he does twice in here. whenever i try it, my opponent is always anticipating it, and i can never get it fast enough.

TRIBUTE TO JAN OVE WALDNER (NEW)
Hi Azhar,
His fast down the line serve is successful because he makes the rest of his serves look so similar.
To get the serve faster, get it to hit close to your own end line and low over the net. Then hit is as fast as you can. Even try to get it to go off the end of the table.
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.
