Lets work on that serve!

First up, you're going to want to work on that serve. Learn to find a good grip and strategy of holding the paddle, where you can serve up the power you need, while also being able to transition back for forehand and backhand returns. That shits going to come back at you quickly, so don't wait to reposition yourself. After you send that ball blasting towards your opponent, take a good step back in preparation for a furious return. In addition to finding the sweet spot on your serve, learn to toss the ball up as high as you can for the serve, incrementally increasing the distance as you improve. This will give you the flexibility to really punish your opponent with some surprising spins.
