Xavier Dixon Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff
i am wondering how to do do the hook serve. Some people use wrist and some don't. Also how do you get the most spin out of this serve

Hi Xavier,
I think if you use the wrist you can get more spin and also then variation.
Keep the wrist relaxed and flick it through on contact. You can then alter the angle of your bat slightly each time to generate different types of spin.
