Weird angle of bat while serving

Isaac Gray Asked 11 years ago

Hi guys, I recently tried serving with my bat angled away from the table (but hitting forward) to create backspin. It works, but is somewhat inconsistent. Have you ever heard of anyone serving that way?

Hi Isaac,

Yes I have. It is good for generating backspin on the ball but can be difficult to get the contact exactly right. It takes a lot of practice. You can get it consistent if you have the time and patience to work on it.

High Toss Serve

The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.

Thanks Alois, I really appreciate an answer (and on the day I asked it!). It's really fun when I hit it and it bounces back into my side after hitting my opponents side .
