Reverse backhand serve
Serving
Johan B Asked 10 years ago
Hi again!

Have you seen people serve like this? Are there any potential downsides to it? I find it somewhat easier to play short with a lot of brush than a normal backhand serve. Also people just stare at you like "what the hell did you just do?" if you start off with a really long and fast serve like that :-)

Hi Johan,
Yes this is a good way of serving for some players. I find it easy to generate more spin with a relaxed wrist doing it this way.
Keep developing it if you can.

Variation of Spin
Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.

It can be effective,I think..
I use this serve while in trouble
I saw a young player use this yesterday for the first time. It was something that he thought of himself and it came really naturally to him.
