How to do a very short serve? I try, but become too easy.

Hi Konstantin,

The trick is to brush the ball very fast and very fine to get it short.  If you hit the ball flat and fast it will go long, but if you make the contact very thin then the ball will go shorter and still have spin which will make it more effective.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
