Unpredictability of serves

Powlo Remice Asked 5 years ago

How can I confuse my opponent by disguising and varying my serves with different spins and no-spin balls?

Hi Powlo,

Often disguise doesn't have to be drastic.  A subtle change of spin or placement can do wonders.

The first thing though is to develop the ability to generate spin.  If you don't have a good spin serve then the disguise becomes irrelevant.

To disguise your serves think about having as similar actions as possible between serves.  Of course there needs to be that difference to generate different spins but if you can have your start and finish of the serves the same initially then you can start to put some doubt in the mind of your opponent.

We have a tutorial for our Premium members on Service Disguise which will also help.
