Fast and spin serve

Serving

Hi Alois,

I have seen many players using fast and spinning serve which is very difficult to receive. Whenever I try to do that serve either it's fast or spinning. 

I have tried the side spin serve but when it's fast it does not spin much. Please tell me what serve should I use that is fast as well as spinning? That would be really helpful. 

Thanks in advance
Aman

Hi Aman,

It is a trade off between the brushing contact and the flat contact.  You can still hit the ball quite flat but brush the ball on the way through to generate a fast spin serve.  It doesn’t matter which serve you try if you apply these principles you will get the fast spinning serve.

Take a look that this link. Fast serve down the line

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
