Improving my serve

Training

Kenneth Tham Asked 3 years ago

Dear PingSkills,

I realise my serve is usually more a liability than asset as it lacks spin and sometimes is too high. Usually, I only practice rallies during practice sessions and we play matches where we have a chance to serve. Do you have any tips on how I can continue to develop my serve to something useful for the game?

Regards,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Practising your serve is key. I would start to introduce a serve into most drills that you do. You can start any drill that you do during your practice session with a serve, return of serve and an opening topspin.

This is a key area of training that links to your matches.

It's important to take the initiative in a rally. My old coach used to call this forcing the pace. To get better at forcing the pace, we are going to consciously go for more power on our third ball shots. We may miss a few more balls but that is part of our development.
