Serving
When I give my opponent a surprise by changing from pendulum service to a long fast service (cross-court/down-the-line/whatever), should I do the kick service, which we hold the bat vertically, or the topspin service, which we hold the back horizontally? I was having trouble deciding which would be a better surprise.
Hi Ryan,
Any surprise serve can be good as long as it really is a surprise for your opponent. For each player and for each situation, the serves that are effective can change.
I like that you are thinking about the serves and trying to do innovative things.
The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
