Spin on my serve
Serving
Saifullah Tarar Asked 7 years ago
There is no spin on my serve. My pendulum serve, tomahawk serve, and even my high toss serve is spinless. What do I do? I stressing out.

Hi Saifullah,
The first thing is to focus on the contact of the bat on the ball. If you are able to get a brushing contact you will start to generate spin on all your serves.
I often see players too focused on the action of the serve and forget about the most crucial part which is the contact.

Is your rubber dead?

If he does a tomahawk serve and he does not get spin,I suppose it really is very dead unless he is hitting the ball with bat facing net.
