Long Backspin and Short topspin serves
Serving

Hi Alois
I know most of the serves are either short backspin and long topspin. But these serves are also useful for deception or a sudden surprise. Could you please give me some tips? Thanks

Hi Mat,
A good server will vary his spin, speed and placement. A long fast serve is used more as a sudden surprise. We recommend that you serve around 80% of your serves short. You can modify this depending on how well your opponent receives the long serve.
For the 80% of short serves, you want to get subtle variations of spin using similar actions. The backspin/no-spin serve is a good example of this.
