How to do a great service with spin?
Hi Sudhanshu,
Firstly you need to generate spin on your serve. To do this you need to have a decent bat with good rubber. Then you need to have a fine brushing contact on your serve.
Now to make the serve great, you need to vary the spin on successive serves to confuse your opponent. You also need good placement. Generally the higher level player you are against, the more important it is to serve the ball short so they cannot attack your serve. Let me know if these tips help you out.
Our Serving Secrets course covers this in detail.
