Hey guys,

Sometimes I have no one to play with. So instead I practice my serves with some balls, pick them up and just keep repeating. It gets boring sometimes so I tried making a practice up.
Instead of serving, I bounced the ball on the table and tried variety of strokes (Hookshot, Smash, Chop, Flick, etc. most of them I learned in your vids).

Since you guys are really good coaches, I was hoping for your opinion in this? Will this actually help me? Should I stick to practicing my serves?

Hi Jin,

Both practice methods will help.  I think that the serving practice will be more beneficial as it is more reflective of a real match situation.

The hitting of shots could also be done using a return board or hitting against a wall.

#26 - Serving with Placement

Just by placing your serve better, you'll be able to win more points. Think about what happens when a good server plays you. What positions do they serve to that you find difficult. Try serving to similar positions yourself. We give you plenty of time to practice serving with placement in this week's training session.
