What serve would be good for modern defense long short.

Hi Darien,
It is important to still serve the ball short to keep the defender in close to the table to make your attack more effective. You can use a variety of short serves depending on what they are not comfortable with.
We have a Match Strategy lesson on playing the Modern Defender available on our Match Strategy site.

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.
