Long and to the corners:

The main point here is to serve the ball deep into the corners of the table.  Those areas are much harder for your opponents to get a strong shots.  If you consistently play deep, you will notice that the opponent needs to stretch in order to return the ball.

Short and over the net

This is probably the best area to serve and so do professionals 80% of the time with a long serve thrown in from time to time to surprise the opponent.  The reason why this area is so effective is because it makes it harder for your opponent to generate any sort of swings on their shots.  So if they can’t hit the ball hard, you will be in a better position to return the ball more effectively. Be sure to vary how you serve the ball  with backspin which will force your opponent to lift the ball up. Nice :)
