How to execute Werner Schlager´s high toss serve with sidespin-topspin and sidespin-backspin ?

Hi Tobias,

Schlager uses a very relaxed swing to generate the spin on his high toss serve. As he is throwing the ball up you will see him swing back and then whip his arm forward to generate the spin.

To generate the backspin he is hitting the ball on the downswing.  This action gets the backspin on the ball by brushing down on the ball.  He gets the topspin by hitting the ball in the upswing.

If you want more information on serving you can also purchase the Serving Secrets Revealed DVD which is available through our website.
