Ghost serve
Serving
omar omar Asked 12 years ago
I don't understand why when I make the ghost serve short and spinny it doesn't comes back often. It is probably because I have too much speed on there.
When I make it high I can sometimes have it bounce on my opponents side then back to my side very quickly. This is effective only a couple of times because then my opponent can easily smash it. I am using Donioc Baracuda rubber if it helps.

Hi Omar,
It sounds like you are able to generate the spin so it may just be that there is too much speed on the ball for it to come back. Don't forget though that as long as you have a good amount of spin then it is still an effective serve. The coming back is really only a bit of a gimmick. When the ball hits your opponent's bat with a lot of backspin and speed it will still dive down and make it hard for them to return.

Variation of Speed
Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
