Improving my serve

Training

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.

Backhand and Forehand Push

In lesson 5 we work on the forehand and backhand push strokes. These are defensive strokes that utilise backspin to make it hard for your opponent to attack.
