At times i put a backhand sidespin serve which goes deep to the forehand of the opponent and some players are able and some are not able to attack on it so is it a good way to play this serve ?

Hi Sahil,

You need to pick who you do the long serves to.  If they have strong forehand strokes then serving shirt is probably better.

You should use it against players who don't have a scary forehand.

It's a good serve (better than long to the backhand), as long as you use it as a variation.
