How to make the return slow
Serving
Ian Costello Asked 14 years ago
Hi Alois,
When I serve and make a 3rd ball topspin, it's kind of in the middle-hard [even though I kind of mastered the FH topspin] because the push off a heavy backspin serve zips a little too fast for what I like. This is true for the no spin, too, but not as much [and I have no idea why it also happens to the no spin]. How can you stop this?
Thx, Ian

Hi Ian,
If you like the return coming slower to you, you can try serving with less speed and keeping the ball low This will make it difficult for your opponent to generate much speed with the return. You need to keep it low otherwise they will be able to flick or push fast.

High Toss Serve
The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.
