Long pimpled serve
Serving
Benzene Chiral Asked 7 years ago
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 :)
