Curving your serve

Avanro Jameson Asked 12 years ago

How would you curve your serve so your opponent is unable to hit it?

HI Avanro,

It is difficult to make it curve so your opponent is unable to hit it but you can certainly trouble them.

The main thing that makes the ball curve is the amount of sidespin that you put on the ball.  You get sidespin by brushing across the ball.  Curve isn't always the best indicator of a good sidespin though.  The amount of curve also depends on the speed of the ball.  Two balls with the same amount of sidespin one fast and one slow will curve differently.  The slwoer one will curve a lot more.
