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.
Question actions
Initially when you are learning a new serve you can just get a bucket of balls and serve over and over again. But at some stage you need to practice your serve exactly as you would play in a match. In this session we focus on this. It's important that you try to make this practice as close to a real match as you can so that when you are in the real thing, you feel comfortable.
