Serving

Hihi Pingskills, I've seen the video about long pimpled rubbers not having much grip and therefore will not be about to generate own spin. What then is the recommended serve for long pimpled rubbers?

Hi Benzene,

It is a serve you should use very rarely as you can't generate spin with it.

Serve mainly with the rubber side of your racket and then just do the same action and serve with the long pimples every now and then as a variation.

Works especially for fast flat serve and pure backspin serves :)

I reacted to this.
The variation Alois describes is most useful with fast flast serves and backspin serves :)
