Practicing serves is the least practiced thing players do besides practicing serve receive. That is almost 2/3 of the game right there!
ANYONE can practice serves as long as there is a table open somewhere. In Iraq, I could only manage to practice 3 minutes a day, since the cheepo table was in the trailer where everyone calls back home, but those 3 minutes a day 3x a week helped me instantly improve one full level without any other practice.
Everyone has pretty much stated the objectives of serving and HOW to do it, but we as players really never seek out the chance to practice.
Heck, even if you are sitting down WAITING for a table, you can practice slicing under the ball to practice impact, timing, and feel. Simply toss ball up, slice under, and make ball come back to you on the floor. Repeat, as long as you can do it without making ball go into someone's match!
