Adam Borborow has a tutorial video on the snake serve. He said you should use a "professional paddle so you can generate enough spin. I know what he means, generally (stickiness), but specifically, what would you look for?

Hi Tim,

The main thing is that you need a bit of grip on the surface of the rubber.  You don't need anything too high powered or high level to be able to do the Snake shot.  The main thing is that you are able to spin the ball.
