Windshield wiper serve too low

I watched your windshield wiper serve. I am a penhold player and struggle using this serve. 25% of the time I usually get it over the net with barely enough spin. The others keep plummeting into the bottom of the net. How do I fix this and lift the ball up over the net?

Hi Jason,

Try hitting the ball a little earlier when it is higher.  Then hit the ball more into your side of the table to get it to bounce higher.

To generate more spin work on a faster contact but ensure you are getting a fine contact on the ball.  It will take time to get the right contact on the ball and also get the fast action.
