just a sipmle poll on what you guys think is the most important shot.Please give reason for your choice thanks

               I think the service return is the most important as if you can return well either low and short or a fast well placed flip you have the advantage over your opponent right away.

         As for your own serve as long as you keep it low and short or semi long (second bounce close to end of table) the opponent will have a hard time attacking them.

       My point being that if you can't return a serve well then you are up against it right from the start and will have little chance in game situations

Sorry don't quite understand the poll.

In service, you would hope that you wouldn't even have to do a third ball attack if the service's that good.

In returning of serves, you hope that you can kill the serve with a good return.

They are both very important.

If you really suck, then it's more important just to be able to return the ball. Once you are half decent, you try to make a good return and not just a return to the opponents side. If you serve well, you have the advantage right away.
Peace out.

Serves can give you an advantage in games but if you had time to only practice one, it should be serve returns because you don't need good serve to start the game but you need to be able to return if you want to stay in it.

They are both the most important stroke that there is to practise. Which one is the most important is hard to tell. I am a pretty decent returner but weeker on my own serve, so for me it levels out a bit. If I had to choose I would probably go with the serve, since its you own serves that you should win.

Service return is more important. I know many players who have a very poor service with respect to their level of play, but their service is good enough to get them into the game the way they want to and this is enough for them.

TT is not only serve and destroy
