The Table Tennis Serve

Stance: start by first standing towards the corner of the table facing towards your opponent spread your legs slightly and lower your center of gravity this will help keep you stable during your serve.

Bat and ball positioning: hold the bat open as if you are about to play a pushing shot on the ball. with your other hand hold the ball between your thumb and first finger above the bat.

Getting a feel for it: drop the ball from your hand and push the ball onto your side of the table mid-way between the net and the beginning of the table, so that the ball bounces over the net and lands on your opponents side of the table, Continue doing this until u have got a feel for the serve.

Once you’ve mastered this technique start playing the shot aiming for the far corners of your opponents side of the table this will give you the edge against your opponent as you will force them to play a defensive game.

Repeat this technique until u have mastered it and you will win almost every serve due to your superior serving.

    Firstly, you give some good technique points for P1 but you do not give a source of where the information came from.

    Secondly, you need to outline the skill and the different use of the different types of serve.
