Backspin sidespin serve contact point
Serving
alberto behrens Asked 12 years ago
hello coach, when serving a backspin sidespin serve do you make contact on lower left side of the bat rubber(lower meaning part furthest away from handle) or the right side ? Thanks

Hi Manuel,
Try to get it as far away from the handle as possible. Then also get it on the leading edge rather than at the back of the bat. If you are right handed and doing a forehand serve then it would be the left edge.

Alois?
when see players serve they tilt a bit to the right after the toss and then comes in with the body while they brush it ,should you that?
Hi Alvin,
The rules says it has to be thrown up almost vertically. There is room for interpretation for that.
