I am getting ready to play in the main state tournament. I need to improve my Serves. I was wondering are 3 serves that i should practice the most for the tournament? I like sidespin serves. I have been trying the tomahawk serve and like that. I have also tried the pendulum serve but I just can't get it. Any tips will help.

Hi John,

You will find that 2 or 3 serves is all you really need.   It is more important to work on getting those few serves better.  Spend the time doing that between now and your tournament.

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.

I would go with the 2 or 3 you are most confident with, whichever they are.
