By practicing the techniques in this mini e-book, you will be able to keep your opponent guessing with an assortment of short, middepth, and deep serves that produce a variety of spins. You’ll learn how, when, and where to touch the ball, whether using a forehand or backhand serve, while incorporating backspin, topspin, and sidespin. Master the skills outlined by McAfee and you will be on your way to becoming a confident, high-level player. The mini e-book Expert Table Tennis Serves is an abridged version of the comprehensive book Table Tennis: Steps to Success (Human Kinetics, 2009). As part of the Steps to Success Sports Series, with more than 1.8 million copies sold, Table Tennis: Steps to Success is the No. 1 resource for learning and loving the game.

Book excerpt: Sam Priestley was never Mr Sporty. After failed attempts at rowing and running he had all but given up on the possibility of becoming a sportsman. That was until childhood friend, and table tennis coach, Ben Larcombe convinced him to act as the guinea pig in an experiment he had concocted - The Expert in a Year Challenge. Starting 1st January 2014 novice Sam was immersed in the world of competitive table tennis. He began training every day and over the course of the year notched up hundreds of hours of practice in an attempt to reach a seemingly impossible goal. There was blood, sweat, tears, injuries, frustrations and moments of elation as the pair travelled up and down the UK, and beyond, in their quest for training, mentors and competition. Sam found potential he never thought he had, got better at table tennis than most people thought possible, and discovered what it feels like when 1.5 million people watch you fail. Here is their story, including all the ridiculous training methods and unreachable goals, and the surprising lessons they learnt from playing table tennis every day for a year.
