Hi Alois!

Can you tell a serve with an effective spin? I tried to make serves with topspin and sidespin but usually they are not very effective. Then I tried to make a simple backspin serve on my backhand but very often I am losing the point. My coach said that I have an advantage if I am serving and then I should win the point with an effective serve. Please tell me 2 or 3 effective serves that I should learn.

Hi Nasko,

Try the Pendulum serve and the Tomahawk serve.  You can get a lot of information on these from our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.  We have put a lit of information into these DVDs for players just like you.

But what spin should I use?

Experiment and try to do a few spins.  Start with the sidespin and then try to get some backspin with it as well.  Do this for both serves.
