Hi PingSkills

Im really having problems with doing the so called "Par Gerell" with underspin or downspin. Since i can only really do the topspin and sidespin type of spin on the serve, it's not as effective as it would be if i could do underspin because the serve is based on your opponent not knowing what type of spin there is on the ball.

Hi Breki,

For the underspin serve just tilt your bat backwards a little and do the same action.  It is like sliding under the ball.

Give it a try and see if you can get the spin on it.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
