Hi

I've heard about serve with deviation. I have seen lots of videos on it as well but i am not able to do it correctly. The ball just dont deviate from its trajectory, it goes straight.  Can tell me how to do it.

Hi Amit,

To get deviation, you need to put sidespin on the ball.  To get sidespin, you need to brush the side of the ball or across the back of the ball.  Also if it is deviation you are looking for then hit the ball with less forward momentum.  This will give it the opportunity to turn.  If it has too much forward speed, even if it has a lot of spin, it will not turn much.
