Is it possible to do the ghost serve with any different action other than the forehand backspin type. The ball also gets some backspin after 2 or 3 pitches, but sometimes the 2nd pitch will bring back the ball to our net.. confused!!

Hi Vinay,

You can use the backhand serve to get the ball to come back.

The ball takes a while to come back because the forward momentum still keeps it going forward until the spin takes over.

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.
