Zap serve
Serving
Sai Vignesh Asked 6 years ago
Hi Alois,
Tomokazu Harimoto has a fast service and most of them online call his serve the zap serve due to its speed. I have tried it so many times but the ball just goes out of the table and the foottap too is tough to coordinate. Any tips that you could provide to get it right with the foottap.
Thanks in advance coach.

Hi Sai,
The foot tap is not as important but the speed is generated by getting a flat contact. The other important thing is to get the first bounce very close to you on your side of the table. Finally hit the ball from very closer to the table. If you listen to the sound of the ball hitting your bat and then the table there isn't any time between the two sounds.

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.
