Hey I was just wondering...what would be the best serve for a hard counter shot to win the rally after they return your serve?

Hi Max,

There is not one serve that will do this for you.

You need to find a serve that works well against a particular opponent and on that point.  Each opponent handles serves in different ways.  You also need to think about the serve that you are going to use on that particular serve depending on how they have handled the previous serve where they are standing and even your reading on how they are handling the situation at the time.
