Serving

Hi Pingskills,

I am looking for some help with how to go about learning new serves. Is it just a case of experimenting, or are their some guidelines that I should work with? Is there a case for looking at others and trying to learn their serves?

Hi Simon,

I think the best way is to copy others. Take a look at some of your favourite players and see what serves they are doing that you like. Also if you are playing an opponent that has a really good serve, try to copy them. You can even speak to them about their serve after the match. I know it sounds surprising but a lot of players like to help out.
