Is holding the bat vertically or horizantally better for a backspin serve?

Thanks!

Hi Ryan,

It is better to have you bat more horizontal to be able to brush the bottom of the ball.  You can generate backspin with the bat more vertical but it is harder to get the 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.
