Topspin serve variations/methods

Johnny Long Asked 10 years ago
Hey.
How would you do a topspin serve? What are some types of topspin serves?
Right now for topspin serves, I just hit the ball like I would with the forehand topspin, which is pretty obvious.
Is there some other way to do a topspin serve? Maybe a more deceptive way?
Thanks.

Hi Johnny,
To get topspin on the serve it is a matter of hitting the ball at a different position in your swing. For example with the Pendulum serve it is about hitting the ball later in the swing when the bat is starting to go upward.
We cover topspin serves in our Serving Secrets section under each type of serve and show you how to do them.
