Serving with extreme spin
Serving
Sean Masterson Asked 14 years ago
My serves are pretty decent now, good placement with variation and good spin. What I have not been able to achieve is high level spin and I believe it is due to what I am trying to achieve - very thin fast contact. When referring to thin contact, does this mean thin contact into the top sheet so the ball grips better increasing the spin? The thin contact that I am referring to, does not sink into the rubber.
Thanks

Hi Sean,
There is a fine line between getting it to grip the rubber effectively or not. If it just skids over the top of the rubber it may not generate spin. The rubber needs to wrap around the ball to grip it and spin it on its way.
Also think about getting the ball to hit close to the end of your bat. This is moving a lot faster and will help you to generate the spin.
