Improving my serve

Training

Dear PingSkills,

I realise my serve is usually more a liability than asset as it lacks spin and sometimes is too high. Usually, I only practice rallies during practice sessions and we play matches where we have a chance to serve. Do you have any tips on how I can continue to develop my serve to something useful for the game?

Regards,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Practising your serve is key.  I would start to introduce a serve into most drills that you do.  You can start any drill that you do during your practice session with a serve, return of serve and an opening topspin.

This is a key area of training that links to your matches.

A good server can put you under pressure from the start of the rally. But if you know how to make an effective return then you can turn the tables. In this master class we talk about the thought process that different levels of player go through to decide the best way to return any serve.
