Faking spin on serves

Serving

Alex Glou Asked 8 years ago

Hey Alois and Jeff

I have a good and fast pendulum serve and a good tomahawk serve. I play in tournaments and I would like to deceive my opponents by making them think I am doing a different type of spin that I am producing. Do you have any tips? Thanks!

Hi Alex,

The key is to have a a similar start and finish positions for different spins. Then it is more difficult for your opponent to tell what type of spin you are putting on.

We have a tutorial on this. Here is a link. Service Disguise.
