I can serve a ball so it fits the regulations and I am starting to get some spin on it. I was just wondering where to go now I see all these variations on the serve and honestly I find them quite confusing. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tim,

Serving is something that take a long time to get comfortable with.

Work hard on one or two serves for a few months until you feel completely confident with it.  Then you can move on to getting some variations.
