Corkscrew Serve
Serving
Ron Mangalindan Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois, I am now practicing a new serve, the one the call "corkscrew serve" or other term. When i search the web, I see different things. And As you remember from my past questions, I am a leftie, so It would really help if you show me how to do it and how to put different spins on it since I will be competing soon on a local competion here. Thanks!

Hi Ron,
The Corkscrew serve is basically a sidespin serve but instead of the ball rotating on its vertical axis, it rotates more on its horizontal axis. In some ways it becomes a topspin serve as well because it is rotating forward in the direction it is moving once it bounces.
