Alois/Jeff,

How many serves would you need in order to trick your opponent? My dad says about 20, but i think that is a bit of an over exaggeration. How many do you have?

Hi Catisia,

You need 2 to 3 serves but then you need a lot of good variations with those serves to have an effective serve.

Most players will have a couple of serves and then you can develop backspin, sidespin and topspin variations.  The key though is to make them look as similar as possible.
