Hi Ciaran,

In general you should always use spin for a serve.  The main thing to consider is what does your opponent like and dislike.  If they like spin then you can think about other ways to earn points.

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
