Can you explain how timo boll do his serve and also his quick backhand loop?

Hi Dos,

This comes from a lot of practice.  He uses a quick wrist to do all of his serves and a very good contact of the bat on the ball.

He follows the key points of doing these serves.

If you want to see how to do these serves, we explain them and show them to you clearly in our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.
