Serving
Hi PingSkill coaches,
I realise that many players stamp the foot of the opposite side to their handedness (ie left handed players right foot, right handed players left foot) when serving and I was wondering whether it was a reflex or they just want to frustrate their opponent with loud booms and shaking the room.
Regards,
Ollie
Hi Ollie,
I think it is a bit of both.
It can be part of the action of serving to get more speed through their action but sometimes players do it as a distraction. Technically if they do it as a distraction it is illegal but it is difficult to police this one.
What do you need to think about when starting to learn serves and you are wanting to improve? There are a few factors that you can focus on. We help you to understand those factors and then how to work on them.
