service deception

Arun Dev Asked 14 years ago

which type of service would be needed for confusing or making opponent hard to return(my meaning is not for hard serve, for making opponent to confuse by some actions etc. as I have often seen).

Hi Arun,

The main thing is to have similar looking serves that produce different spins and placement.

Any serve is returnable if the other person knows what spin is on it and where the serve is going.

Aim to have the same starting position and similar swing.  At the contact point you can make subtle changes to produce different serves.
