Serve low and short or maximum spin
Serving
Richard Zuccaro Sr Asked 7 years ago
When serving is it more important to keep the ball low and two bounces or higher with more spin?

Hi Richard,
It depends on the player you are serving to but for me in general keeping it short and low is more important than spin initially. Especially if you are playing against a good player even if you serve with a whole lot of spin but the serve goes long or high, they will be able to attack it.
