How do we do lethal topspin serve ?
Alois Rosario Answered 15 years ago
Hi Kaijie,
It is difficult to do an effective topspin serve. It is a matter of a subtle roll up the back of the ball. It needs to be short and low as well.
This needs to be disguised to be effective because straight topspin serve is easy for your opponent to attack.
This about using your action for another serve and then just coming up the back of the ball to generate the topspin.
There are some illustrations of this in the Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.
