Hi Dunni,

Take a look at this previous video response that is available for our Premium members. Ovtcharov serve.  It is an interesting serve because of his start position.  This helps him to get a better swing at the ball.  It is not something we would recommend for everyone, nut it certainly works for him.

He starts i a low very side on position to allow himself to swing more with the body and generate more speed with his bat.   His finish position is also interesting.  It gets him to where he wants to be for the start of the rally which is in a backhand dominant position.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
