Does the ball have an impact on the serve
Equipment
Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
Recently, I practice more with my serve. I generate more spin on my serve with the pendulum and reverse pendulum sidespin. Yesterday I played with my friends, and I found that my friend's ball was so rough and when I serve the ball, it couldn't spin enough so my friend executed it easily. My conclusion is, the ball gives impact to my serves. Is that right?
Thanks a lot
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,
The ball can effect the serve. A softer and lighter ball will swing and turn more than a harder ball. Perhaps he was using a 3 star ball. What sort of balls do you use for training?

I use the Butterfly Youth and DHS balls for my serving practice

They should be quite hard, especially the DHS balls.

So which ball should I use to practice?
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago
The better ball that you can afford to practice with the better. Use the DHS if you can.
