Applying More Spin on Serve

Serving

Hi,

I'm always trying to improve my servicing and the amount of spin I'm able to place upon it. I was wondering if there is any way to apply even more spin so it's almost not returnable? 

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

Unfortunately, or fortunately,  there is no such thing as an unreturnable serve.  The idead though is to make your serves as difficult as possible for your opponent by using variations of spin, speed and placement.

To get more spin, follow the principles of generating as much speed with your racket on impact and getting a good brushing action.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
