My serve gets smashed

Hello Alois,

I am having trouble with my serve, at the moment i am the number 1 in my school but my opposition always seem to smash the ball after my serve. How can i improve my serve?? thank you

Yours sincerely,

Jack

Hi Jack,

The key is to keep your serve short and low.  By short I mean getting it to bounce close to the net on the other side and if they were to leave it, the ball should bounce at least twice on the other side.

This is a really difficult ball for them to attack and will set up opportunities to make the first attack yourself. 

Try to purchase a copy of Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.  This will give you a lot of information and helpful tips on improving your serve.
