Hi Philey,

The two basic principles are to brush the ball on contact and then be able to brush it fast.

We have made a DVD Serving Secrets Revealed which will show you in great detail how to do this.  It also has several other features that will help your serve.  If you can, buy yourself a copy through our website.
