How to fix a high serve
Serving
Ittipat Amonrungmetham Asked 15 years ago
Hello
I like your serving secret revealed very much, yet I still have some problems.
I'm sure I imitate your serve in the video, but sometimes I don't know why the ball is jumping and has no power at the second bounce. The ball jumps very high at the second bounce.
This happens very often especially when I really concentrate on hitting the ball.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

HI Ittipat,
Perhaps you are not brushing the ball enough on contact.
You may also be hitting the ball when it is too high. Wait a little longer for the ball to fall a little before hitting it. This will allow you to serve lower.
Glad you are enjoying Serving Secrets Revealed. Remember, understanding the action is one thing. Practicing enough so that you can do it well is the next step.
