Is there a serve that stands out to you for being an undefeatable serve?

Hi Olly,

There is no such thing as an undefeatable serve.  Only a serve that your opponent will find difficult at that time.  The key is to understand what you opponent is not coping with and try to utilise that serve at that time.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
