Hi Yazid,

I think it is good to learn a lot of different types of serves and then work out which ones suit your game.  Then specialise in two or three serves to use in most of your points.

It can definitely be worth it to be competent in a handful of serves beyond your main. Sometimes somebody will just have tons of trouble with something like a tomahawk serve and you can just get free points. You should definitely have a go-to 'main' serve though, one great serve is better than three not-terrible serves.
