Advanced service differs from the basic service in the following ways:
- The stroke is the same for all spins
- By controlling where you hit the ball on the paddle(tip, middle, near handle) you can control the rate of spin
- By controlling at which point in the stroke you hit the ball, the combination of spins is possible
- The toss is often higher to aid in speed, spin, and deception
- A variety of techniques, including high tosses and foot stamps, are used to prevent the opponent from anticipating the spin on the ball.
- Backhand sidespin
- Forehand pendulum
